This article reviews the requirements of a proposed rule by NRC on plant license renewal. Comments of the nuclear industry and opponents/critics of existing nuclear power are presented. The license would provide a 20 year extension of the 40 year license a nuclear plant now holds. Age dependent degradation of systems and structures would be required to be addressed prior to awarding the license extension.
