  Exelon files to deactivate the Byron reactors
  Exelon on June 16 filed with grid operator PJM Interconnection to deactivate the two Byron reactors in Illinois. The move came one day after the Illinois Senate adjourned without reaching an agreement on a comprehensive energy package that would have provided nearly $700 million to keep Byron’s reactors, as well as Exelon’s Dresden and Braidwood nuclear power plants, in operation. (In August of 2020, Exelon announced that it would close the economically challenged Byron and Dresden facilities in the fall of 2021 without some form of state aid to provide compensation for their clean power.) The state’s House of Representatives also adjourned earlier this week without taking up the bill.

15th International High-Level Radioactive Waste Management Conference (IHLRWM 2015)

Item ID: 700396|ISBN: 978-0-89448-719-4

2015

Description

The 15th International High-Level Radioactive Waste Management Conference (IHLRWM 2015) contains over 130 papers. The conference theme, "Real World Solutions for Integrated Management of Used Fuel and HLW," reflects the progress and activities under way around the world that collectively demonstrate that technical solutions exist and are being implemented for the safe storage, transportation, and disposal of long-lived, high-activity products and wastes from commercial nuclear power as well as legacy defense-related activities. This narrative addresses and counters the commonly held belief that there is no solution to the nuclear waste problem.

Some topics of interest include: repository licensing, borehole disposal: general, regulatory and institutional topics--managing unique inventories of used fuel and HLW, and regulatory safety assessment.
