  • 2021-01034 — CRP NH Ayers Island, LLC; Notice of Application for Amendment of License, Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Protests
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 5181
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    CRP NH Ayers Island, LLC has filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to amend its license for the Ayers Island Hydroelectric Project in New Hampshire. They want to change the way the project operates from a "modified" peaking mode to a "run-of-river" mode, which means the river's flow will be used more naturally without storing water. Additionally, they want to remove the top one-foot flashboard section from the spillway, which is usually installed in the summer. Comments, protests, and motions to intervene about this application can be submitted until February 12, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    CRP NH Ayers Island, LLC wants to change how they use river water for their power project by letting it flow naturally instead of holding it back. People can say what they think about this until February 12, 2021, but they have to do it in a specific way that might be a little confusing.

    Reading Time:about 16 minutes

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering an application from Entergy Nuclear Operations and other parties to transfer control of licenses for the Big Rock Point and Palisades Nuclear Plants to Holtec, and to transfer Entergy's operating authority to Holtec Decommissioning International.

The NRC invites public comments and is offering the opportunity to request a hearing or petition for intervention by specific deadlines provided in the notice. Public comments will be considered, but they will not be part of the formal decision-making process.

    Simple Explanation

    The NRC is thinking about letting some companies give control of two nuclear plants to another company called Holtec, and they want people to give their opinions and maybe talk about it. They're making sure nothing changes about the plants themselves, just who's in charge.

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.

    Type:Notice

    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering a change to the operating license for Florida Power and Light Company's Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 4.

Requests for a hearing or petitions to intervene can be filed by April 21, 2025.
