BREAKING NEWS - NRC Approves
Vogtle Reactor Construction - First New Nuclear Plant Approval
in 34 Years (With new plant photos)
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved the combined
license for two new AP1000 reactors at Georgia's Vogtle
nuclear plant Thursday afternoon -- the first time since
1978 a new nuclear plant has been licensed in the U.S.
Southern Company has made substantial progress since obtaining an early site permit in 2009, and the final COL is critical to the construction schedule. The approval was long anticipated, with the NRC issuing a final safety evaluation report for the project last August. But the final approval was slowed by a review of the Westinghouse AP1000 reactor design, which was delayed as regulators evaluated design ammendments to meet enhanced aircraft impact resistance requirements. The AP1000 was approved in late December.

New UK Energy Minister Changes Course, Supports Nuclear Build
In a reversal of his previous political work advocating against nuclear power in the UK, the country’s newly installed energy minister stated he is not opposed to an agreement that envisions new reactors.
Ed Davey was appointed Friday, replacing the previous energy secretary who resigned in a political scandal related to traffic tickets. Davey’s Liberal Democrat party opposed new nuclear plant construction, and the Daily Mail reported Davey used to issue anti-nuclear press releases as its spokesman for trade and industry in 2006. On Sunday, though, the new energy secretary said he would not disrupt an agreement reached earlier by the British government to build new plants, provided they are not subsidized with public money.

From: Nuclear Power Industry News Extensive Wear Found in Recently Replaced SONGS Steam Generator Just two years after it was replaced, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has reported significant wear in a steam generator at California’s San Onofre Nuclear Plant. Earlier in the week, San Onofre unit 3 was taken out of service because of a leaking steam generator tube that resulted in a small release of radioactive steam into an auxiliary building. On Thursday initial reports from NRC inspectors also outlined wear in similar equipment at neighboring unit 2. During a scheduled outage for maintenance and inspections, the NRC found the thickness of two tubes in one of unit 2's two steam generators had been worn away by a third. Of 9,700 tubes in the steam generator, 69 were found to be at least 20 percent worn, and 800 tubes were at least 10 percent worn. Read More>>>> |
