Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC; Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has granted the request of Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC to withdraw its application dated May 26, 2016, for a proposed amendment to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-35 and NPF-52. The proposed amendment would have revised the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) to add descriptions to several sections of the UFSAR to clarify how a shutdown unit supplying either it's normal or emergency power source may be credited for operability of shared components supporting the operating unit.
Emergency Preparedness for Small Modular Reactors and Other New Technologies
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is requesting comment on a draft regulatory basis to support a rulemaking that would develop new emergency preparedness (EP) requirements for small modular reactors (SMRs) and other new technologies (ONTs), such as non-light- water reactors (non-LWRs) and medical isotope production facilities. The new EP regulations would be consequence-oriented, performance- based, and technology inclusive to the extent possible, and continue to provide reasonable assurance of adequate protection of public health and safety. The new EP regulations would be applicable to SMR and ONT facilities only. Large light-water reactors (LWRs), fuel cycle facilities, research and test reactors and other non-power, non- commercial, facilities are not in the scope of this rulemaking. The NRC plans to hold a public meeting to promote full understanding of the rulemaking and facilitate public participation.
