    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering renewing the operating licenses for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant in Wisconsin, allowing it to operate for an additional 20 years beyond its current licenses. These licenses for the plant's two units are set to expire in 2030 and 2033. If the renewal application is approved, the NRC will ensure that the aging and environmental impacts are managed, and they will provide an opportunity for public hearings and intervening petitions by March 23, 2021. This process involves an electronic filing system and may include public scoping meetings for environmental considerations.

    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has released updated guidance, known as Interim Staff Guidance (ISG), for managing the aging of reactor vessel internal components in pressurized-water reactors. This new guidance revises older documents to help both those applying for license renewals and NRC staff by clarifying and adding new information. Public comments were considered in the development of this final version, but the new guidance is not mandatory. This update will assist in the preparation and review of future license renewal applications more efficiently.

    Simple Explanation

    The NRC has come out with new rules to help keep parts inside certain power plants safe as they get older. These rules make it clearer what needs to be checked and fixed, so plants can keep running safely.
