    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has granted an extension for the construction completion dates of the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2, owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), until October 1, 2021. The initial construction permits were issued in 1974, but the projects have been delayed. The NRC found that there is a valid reason for the extension and that it does not pose significant safety risks. This extension allows more time to resolve an ongoing legal dispute concerning the plant's sale.

    Simple Explanation

    The bosses in charge of keeping nuclear power plants safe have given more time to finish building a power plant that they started a looong time ago, because there are some things that need to be figured out in court first. They believe it won't make the plant unsafe, so they're okay with waiting a bit longer.

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued an exemption to Constellation Energy Generation, LLC, allowing the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station to use the Holtec HI-STORM Flood/Wind Multi-Purpose Canister Storage System for six MPC-89 containers starting in May 2025. This exemption permits them to bypass certain requirements usually needed for the storage of nuclear waste because their analysis for handling tornado-generated missiles differs from the NRC-approved method. The NRC determined that granting this exemption will not pose a threat to life, property, or security and is in the public interest. The decision ensures efficient management of spent nuclear fuel while maintaining safety standards.

    Simple Explanation

    The NRC let a nuclear plant use a special storage box to keep used-up nuclear fuel starting in 2025, even though the plant didn't follow all the usual rules. They believe this will still be safe and help manage radioactive waste better.
