PG&E claims that "the two reactor units produce a total of 18,000 gigawatt-hours of clean and reliable electricity annually" are at best misleading statements.  Unreliable Diablo Canyon Reactors Risk Blackouts 20220823_090953.jpg By admin at Thu, 08/25/2022 - 05:31 Read more about Unreliable Diablo Canyon Nuclear Reactors Increase Risks of Blackouts Federal Register notice on TMI 2 decommissioning license amendment request Eric, In case you haven’t seen this yet. Comments are due by Sept. 21, 2022, and requests for a hearing are due by Oct. 21, 2022. Neil SheehanNRC Public Affairs OfficerRegion I  image001.png TMI2DecommissioningLARFederalRegisterNotice.8-22-2022.pdf TMI2DecommissioningLARFederalRegisterNotice.8-22-2022.pdf By admin at Thu, 08/25/2022 - 05:25 Read more about Federal Register notice on TMI 2 decommissioning license amendment request ML22221A214 Distribution - Correction of Errors Inadvertently Introduced in the Safety Evaluation Report for Issuance of License Amendment No. 305, to Facility Operating License No. DPR-50 for the Three Mile Island Station, Unit No. 1 Date:  08/11/2022 Title:  Correction of Errors Inadvertently Introduced in the Safety Evaluation Report for Issuance of License Amendment No. 305, to Facility Operating License No. DPR-50 for the Three Mile Island Station, Unit No. 1 To:  David P.

Six of these events were medical events, such as misadministration of radioactive material in diagnosis or treatment of an illness. This represents approximately 0.005 percent of the estimated number of nuclear medicine and radiation therapy procedures involving radioactive material performed in the United States annually. Two events – one at a medical facility and another at the National Institute of Standards and Technology Center for Neutron Research in Gaithersburg, Maryland, – involved serious safety-significant deficiencies in management or procedural controls. No events at commercial nuclear power plants in fiscal year 2021 met the criteria for an Abnormal Occurrence declaration. U.S. law defines an Abnormal Occurrence as an unscheduled incident or event that the NRC determines to be significant from the standpoint of public health or safety. The NRC sets specific criteria for determining which events qualify. The FY 2021 report identified no “Other Events of Interest” as defined in the Abnormal Occurrences criteria. The Report to Congress on Abnormal Occurrences, Fiscal Year 2021, is available on the NRC website as NUREG-0090, Volume 44.  22-033.pdf 22-033.pdf By admin at Thu, 08/11/2022 - 13:56 Read more about NRC Identifies Eight Abnormal Occurrence Events in FY 2021 Annual Report to Congress Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 - Integrated Inspection Report 05000387/2022002 and 05000388/2022002 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 - Integrated Inspection Report 05000387/2022002 and 05000388/2022002ADAMS Accession No. ML22213A260  SUS2022-002 IR FINAL.pdf SUS2022-002 IR FINAL.pdf By admin at Mon, 08/08/2022 - 01:45 Read more about Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 - Integrated Inspection Report 05000387/2022002 and 05000388/2022002 Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 - Integrated Inspection Report 05000277/2022002 and 05000278/2022002 Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 - Integrated Inspection Report 05000277/2022002 and 05000278/2022002ADAMS Accession No. ML22209A115 PB IR2022-002.pdf PB IR2022-002.pdf By admin at Mon, 08/08/2022 - 01:43 Read more about Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 - Integrated Inspection Report 05000277/2022002 and 05000278/2022002 Boy and Island: New podcast episode  New Podcast EpisodeBoy and Island:From Sorcery to Utility, Part 4Hello and welcome back to the Boy And Island Podcast! In this episode, I weigh in on Meltdown the Netflix documentary on Three Mile Island, and continue my deep dive into Deja Vu and its ubiquitous presence in the modern popular psyche through revealing personal insights on The China Syndrome movie, my disturbing eyewitness account of the attacks on 9/11, the concept of Militainment, "wild history" and more.Stay tuned for more podcast episodes on the way. Please contact me with any thoughts regarding the project. Take care!Listen on boyandisland.comListen on Apple Podcasts The Boy and Island podcast is a companion to the book project currently in development by Andrew Hurst. The podcast follows Andrew's creative process as he reflects on the Three Mile Island accident after 40-plus years and examines the remarkable ways that time has distorted, as well as clarified the event's importance as a pivotal moment in world history and as a penultimate event in his family's history.

A proposed fee rule was published for public comment on Feb. 23. The FY 2022 final fee rule reflects a total budget authority of $887.7 million, an increase of $43.3 million from FY 2021. After accounting for exclusions from the fee-recovery requirement and net billing adjustments, the NRC must recover approximately $752.7 million in fees in FY 2022. Of this amount, approximately $198.8 million will be recovered through fees for services (Part 170), and approximately $553.9 million will be recovered through annual fees (Part 171). Compared to FY 2021, annual fees are decreasing for fuel facilities, spent fuel storage/reactor decommissioning activities, and for a uranium recovery facility licensee. Annual fees are increasing for operating power reactors, non-power production or utilization facilities, the U.S. Department of Energy Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act Program, DOE transportation activities, and for 47 materials users fee categories. While the operating power reactors annual fee is increasing in FY 2022, it does not exceed the annual fee cap established by NEIMA. Generally, annual fees are impacted by changes to the budget, fees for services, the number of licensees, and other factors. The final fee rule also includes a change in the hourly rate charged for services, affecting licensees and applicants. The NRC has increased its hourly rate from $288 to $290 for FY 2022 and has adjusted license application fees accordingly. The NRC estimates that the FY 2022 annual fees will be paid by the 93 licensees of operating commercial power reactors, three non-power production or utilization facilities, 122 spent nuclear fuel storage and decommissioning reactor facilities, eight fuel cycle facilities, one uranium recovery facility, and approximately 2,500 nuclear materials licensees. 22-023.pdf 22-023.pdf By admin at Wed, 06/29/2022 - 08:28 Read more about NRC Amends Licensing, Inspection, and Annual Fees for Fiscal Year 2022 Pages123456789…next ›last »
