    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has accepted a request from Louisiana Energy Services, operating as Urenco USA, to amend its special nuclear materials license to increase the uranium enrichment limit at the National Enrichment Facility in New Mexico. This amendment includes raising the enrichment level from 5.5% to below 10% for on-site recycling and support systems and removing certain storage controls. Because the request contains sensitive information, the NRC has detailed procedures for how people can gain access to this information if they need it to participate in a hearing about the amendment. Those interested must file requests by specific deadlines, follow new filing rules, and comply with security checks for access to sensitive data.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is letting a company in New Mexico change how they handle a special kind of uranium to make it stronger, but they have to follow extra rules because it's sensitive work. People can join in discussions about these changes, but they have to do some tricky things first, like background checks and securing permission to see special information.

    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 application, filed on December 23, 2020, seeks these changes without any physical changes to the facilities. 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.
