The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued exemptions from certain portions of the acceptance criteria for emergency core cooling systems to allow the use of a risk-informed methodology in lieu of a deterministic methodology to evaluate the effects of debris in containment following a loss-of-coolant accident for the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2 (Vogtle), located in Burke County, Georgia. The exemptions are in response to a request dated August 17, 2020, as supplemented by letters dated December 17, 2020, and February 15, 2021, from the Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc.

NextEra Energy Duane Arnold, LLC; Duane Arnold Energy Center; Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report
On June 19, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) solicited comments on the post-shutdown decommissioning activities report (PSDAR) for the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC). The PSDAR, which includes the site-specific decommissioning cost estimate (DCE), provides an overview of NextEra Energy Duane Arnold, LLC's (NEDA or the licensee's) planned decommissioning activities, schedule, projected costs, and environmental impacts for DAEC. The public comment period closed on October 19, 2020, was reopened on October 26, 2020, closed again on February 19, 2021, was reopened on March 5, 2021, and will currently close on August 19, 2021. The NRC has decided to extend the public comment period for a third time to provide additional time for members of the public to develop and submit their comments, as well as to allow time for an in-person public meeting on the PSDAR. The NRC will hold a public meeting to discuss the PSDAR's content and receive comments once restrictions associated with the Coronavirus Disease 2019 public health emergency are lifted, and will notice this meeting in a separate Federal Register notice.
