    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued three Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) documents to update the aging management criteria for mechanical, structural, and electrical components in their subsequent license renewal (SLR) guidance documents. These ISGs update NUREG-2191 and NUREG-2192, which help with the preparation and review of license renewal applications for nuclear power plants. The revisions include updates to recommended aging management programs, changes to review items, and new guidance sections. These guidelines are aimed at clarifying the existing instructions and easing the application process for SLRs.

This supplement will review new information and assess the environmental effects of renewing the power station's licenses. The NRC aims to ensure that renewing the licenses doesn't harm the environment more than anticipated. The draft of this supplement will be made available for public comment to gather input before final decisions are made.

    Simple Explanation

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission wants to look again at how letting a power station keep running could affect the environment, and they plan to share their findings with everyone so people can give their thoughts.
