Nuclear plant license renewal in the U. S
- Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC (United States)
Establishing criteria for the renewal of licenses for operating nuclear power plants is of vital importance to the United States. Recently the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission finalized regulations concerning the licensing requirements to be met for a renewed license by publishing 10 CFR Part 54. A proposed revision to the NRC's environmental protection regulations (10 CFR Part 51) to specifically address potential environmental impacts associated with license renewal was also issued for public comment in 1991 and is expected to be issued in final form in 1992. This paper addresses the philosophy and specific technical aspects of the US regulations directly affecting license renewal. In addition, the paper discusses NRC regulatory process and supporting regulatory guidance, industry reports affecting a majority of the plants potentially seeking license renewal, and the efforts of the lead plants.
