Southern Nuclear applies for SLR for Hatch
The owners of the two-unit Hatch nuclear power plant are hoping to operate the facility for up to 80 years. Southern Nuclear submitted its application this month to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a subsequent license renewal for the dual-unit plant in Baxley, Ga.
The SLR seeks to extend the operating licenses of both boiling water reactors at Hatch from 60 to 80 years. The NRC approved the plant’s first 20-year license renewal in January 2002, which extended Unit 1’s license through August 6, 2034, and Unit 2’s through June 13, 2038.
The William R. and Mila Kimel Undergraduate Engineering Scholarship was established in November of 2003, through an endowment from the William R. Kimel Trust for undergraduates pursuing a degree in nuclear engineering.
Dr. William R. Kimel was President of the American Nuclear Society in 1978–1979. He was the Dean of the College of Engineering at the University of Missouri - Columbia from 1969-1986.
