    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued a new Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.237, titled "Guidance for Changes During Construction for Nuclear Power Plants Being Constructed Under a Combined License Referencing a Certified Design Under 10 CFR part 52." This guide provides an approved process for making design changes to structures, systems, and components of nuclear plants under construction. The document also mentions that it does not impose mandatory compliance on licensees and would not constitute a backfit or forward fit. The guide is accessible online alongside related documents for public review.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has made a new guide to help people who build nuclear power plants know how to safely change their designs as they build. It's not mandatory to follow these rules, but they show a good way to do it if you choose to.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued special conditions for the Safran Electric & Power S.A. Model ENGINeUS 100A1 electric engines, which will serve as the primary propulsion systems in aircraft. These engines use novel electrical technology instead of traditional fuel-burning systems, necessitating the creation of new safety standards. The special conditions outline specific requirements for the engine's design, safety assessments, and operational capabilities to ensure equivalent safety levels to conventional engines. The document responds to public comments and incorporates changes based on feedback from various stakeholders, such as Airbus and Ampaire, emphasizing the safe integration of these electric engines in aviation.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is setting new rules so that special electric engines for airplanes, made by a company called Safran, are just as safe as engines that use fuel. These rules focus on making sure the electric engines work well and don't cause any problems when used in planes.

    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.

    Simple Explanation

    The power company wants to wait a little longer before doing a big safety test on their nuclear plant because they think it's still safe, and they want to hear what people think about this idea. The government is asking people to share their thoughts if they want to.
