Nuclear Regulatory Commission March 8, 2023 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued an exemption in response to an October 31, 2022, request from Pacific Gas and Electric Company regarding the submittal of a license renewal application for Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2. Pursuant to this exemption, if the licensee submits a license renewal application less than 5 years prior to expiration of the existing operating licenses but no later than December 31, 2023, and if the NRC staff finds it acceptable for docketing, the existing operating licenses will be in timely renewal under NRC regulations until the NRC has made a final determination on whether to approve the license renewal application.
