    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has announced its consideration of three amendment requests related to the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station, Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, and Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. The NRC plans to determine that these amendments pose no significant hazards. Since these requests include sensitive information, the NRC has set special procedures for accessing this information to prepare for any challenges. The public can comment on these requests, and those interested in hearings or interventions have specific deadlines to file their requests.

    Simple Explanation

    The government group that watches over nuclear power is thinking about changing some rules at three power plants. They believe these changes won't make things any more dangerous, but since the changes include some secret stuff, they have special rules for looking at it.

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering a proposal from the Tennessee Valley Authority to amend the operating license of the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Unit 2, in Tennessee. This proposal involves updating the safety analysis report to use alternative methods for detecting specific types of cracking in the steam generators until they are replaced. The NRC has determined that this amendment does not pose any significant safety hazards. They are currently seeking public comments on this determination and have provided guidelines for those interested in requesting a hearing or accessing sensitive information related to the issue.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is checking if a nuclear plant can change a safety rule about looking for cracks in its machines, and they want people to share their thoughts about it. This change is thought to be safe, but some information is kept secret, and people need special permission to see it.
