The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued an amendment to the Cimarron Environmental Response Trust's (CERT) license for handling special nuclear materials. This amendment includes a new decommissioning plan for the Cimarron facility in Oklahoma, addressing the remediation of groundwater contaminated with uranium and permitting the presence of a specific contaminant, Technetium-99. The NRC made this decision after reviewing CERT's application and ensuring compliance with relevant nuclear safety and environmental standards. The amendment became effective on December 22, 2024.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering an amendment to the operating license of the Callaway Plant, Unit No. 1, operated by Union Electric Company, also known as Ameren Missouri. The proposed amendment would allow the plant to operate with 52 control rods during its 28th cycle, instead of the currently required 53, due to a slowed drop time observed in one control rod. The NRC plans to issue the amendment if it determines that it does not involve significant hazards. The public can comment on this proposal or request a hearing by specific deadlines.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering a request to amend the operating license for the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Unit No. 2, located in Michigan. This amendment would allow a one-time extension of the current 15-year interval for the plant's integrated leak rate test by about 18 months, extending it until the startup following the fall 2022 refueling. The NRC has determined that this proposed change does not significantly increase safety risks and is seeking public feedback on this assessment. Interested parties have the opportunity to comment, request a hearing, or intervene in the process through established procedures.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering requests to amend the licenses for the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Arizona. These amendments are proposed to not involve any significant hazards and are open for public comment until February 13, 2025. If interested, people can also request a hearing or submit a petition by March 17, 2025. Additionally, there are procedures to access certain sensitive information related to the amendments for those preparing to contest in a hearing.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering a license amendment for the Nuclear Ship Savannah (NSS) in Baltimore, Maryland. This amendment would allow for the completion of decommissioning activities under the License Termination Plan (LTP), which MARAD will implement if the NRC approves it. After the decommissioning, a request can be made to terminate NSS's license so that the ship can be preserved, dismantled, or turned into a reef. The NRC's environmental assessment found no significant impact, which means a more detailed environmental impact statement isn't needed.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering an amendment to extend the operations of the high-assay, low-enriched uranium (HALEU) demonstration program at the American Centrifuge Plant until June 30, 2025, with a possibility of further extension if the contract with the U.S. Department of Energy is extended. The NRC issued an environmental assessment and determined there would be no significant environmental impacts from this proposed action, meaning a more detailed environmental impact statement is unnecessary. The extended operations would adhere to current safety regulations without major changes to the facility or processes, and would not significantly affect air quality, public health, or waste management.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has received a request from American Centrifuge Operating, LLC to amend a license allowing operations at the American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio, for an additional nine years beyond June 30, 2025. This request, which involves sensitive information, includes prolonged operations producing high-assay low-enriched uranium for the Department of Energy. Interested parties can request a hearing or petition to intervene by specific deadlines and must follow procedures to access the sensitive information. The NRC will review the application before making a decision.

Swan Lake North Hydro LLC has submitted an application to amend its license for a hydroelectric project in Klamath County, Oregon. The project, which has not yet been constructed, will involve changes such as replacing turbine units, modifying the powerhouse, and making adjustments to the project's layout and materials.
