Nuclear Reactor License Renewal by U.s. Government Accountability Office Pdf

" Many U.S. commercial nuclear power reactors are reaching the end of their initial 40-year operating period. To continue operating, their owners must renew their licenses with NRC, the independent federal agency responsible for licensing and regulating nuclear reactors. NRC evaluates license renewal applications under two parallel reviews for safety and potential environmental impacts. NRC's license renewal process has received increasing public scrutiny due, in part, to the 2011 disaster at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. GAO was asked to review NRC's license renewal process for commercial nuclear power reactors. This report examines (1) the scope of the license renewal process, (2) the extent to which NRC updates its safety and environmental review guidance, (3) the extent to which NRC follows its documented license renewal procedures, and (4) knowledgeable stakeholders' views on the strengths and weaknesses in the license renewal process and any suggestions for improvements. GAO reviewed documents; visited two nuclear power plants selected based on characteristics such as having gone through the license renewal process; assessed the consistency of NRC reviews with documented procedures; and interviewed NRC officials and stakeholders from industry and public interest groups. GAO did not evaluate the adequacy or substance of NRC reviews or the quality of the agency's"

NRC issues licenses for commercial nuclear power reactors to operate for up to 40 years and allows these licenses to be renewed for up to an additional 20 years. There is no set limit on the number of times a reactor's operating license can be renewed. Most of the nation's 102 operating commercial nuclear power reactors received their initial operating licenses in the 1970s and 1980s. By the end of 2013, 64 reactors will have held an operating license for at least 30 years, and of these reactors, 20 will have held an operating license for 40 years or more (see fig. 1). As a result, many reactors are reaching or have reached the end of their initial 40-year operating period. As of May 2013, NRC had renewed 73 reactor licenses and was reviewing license renewal applications for 14 reactors.ly with reactor owners and, according to NRC documents, is typically based on the reactor's economic situation and whether it can meet NRC requirements.

Standard Review Plan for Review of License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants by U.s. Nuclear Reglatory Commission Pdf

The “Standard Review Plan for Review of License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants” (SRP-LR) provides guidance to Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff reviewers in the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR). These reviewers perform safety reviews of applications to renew nuclear power plant licenses in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 54. The principal purposes of the SRP-LR are to ensure the quality and uniformity of staff reviews and to present a well-defined base from which to evaluate applicant programs and activities for the period of extended operation. The SRP-LR also is intended to make regulatory information widely available to enhance communication with interested members of the public and the nuclear power industry and to improve their understanding of the staff review process.

Aging Management of Nuclear Power Plant Containments for License Renewal by W. C. Liu,P. T. Kuo,S. S. Lee Pdf

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published its license renewal rule, Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 54, on May 8, 1995, providing the requirements for renewal of operating licenses for nuclear power plants. 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1)(i) requires an aging management review of containment structures to ensure that the effects of aging will be managed so that their intended functions will be maintained for the period of extended operation. In 1990, the Nuclear Management and Resources Council (NUMARC), now the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), submitted for NRC review, the industry reports (IRs), NUMARC Report 90–01 and NUMARC Report 90–10, addressing aging management issues associated with PWR containments and BWR containments for license renewal, respectively.
