Court ruling might delay reactor relicensing, Jaczko says
- Court ruling might delay reactor relicensing, Jaczko says
A
court ruling that requires the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to
reassess on-site storage rules for radioactive waste could delay the
relicensing of nuclear plants, said outgoing NRC Chairman Gregory
Jaczko. However, plants that have applied for license extensions could
continue operate while the NRC works on the decision, Jaczko said.
Seventy-three of the country's 104 nuclear plants have already secured
license extensions, and the rest have either applied for relicensing or
are expected to apply. Platts
