The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued an environmental assessment and a finding of no significant impact regarding a request from Constellation Energy Generation, LLC. This request seeks an exemption to allow the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Units 2 and 3 to load seven canisters for storing spent nuclear fuel starting June 2025, despite not meeting certain compliance requirements. The proposed action includes using specific equipment during loading and transportation, and NRC found that this exemption would not significantly affect the environment. Consequently, there is no need for an environmental impact statement.

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.
