On March 27, 1985, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) granted an application to permit the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) to increase its maximum allowable generating capacity by approx.4%. With the issuance of Amendment No. 115 to Operating License DPR-49, the DAEC became the first operating boiling water reactor 4 (BWR/4) to be allowed to uprate its allowable output. The uprating modifications and the licensing procedure are discussed.
