NRC Renews Licence For Honeywell’s Illinois Uranium Conversion Plant :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

NRC Renews Licence For Honeywell’s Illinois Uranium Conversion Plant :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has renewed the operating licence of Honeywell International’s uranium conversion plant in Metropolis, Illinois, for an additional 40 years until 24 March 2060.



Honeywell submitted its licence renewal application in February 2017. In its review, the NRC staff focused on Honeywell’s decommissioning funding, the environmental effects of the facility for the duration of the licence, facility changes and safety basis, and the controls to monitor material degradation and aging for the duration of a licence term.
