- For plant owners/operators, is there an interest in license renewal for 40 years, and how likely would you utilize this approach compared to the current process (i.e., separate 20-year license renewals)?
- What should the NRC take into account when considering whether to change the limit of license renewal to 40 years from the current 20 years?
o If a decision is made to pursue regulatory and process changes to enable license renewal for 40 years, what collateral changes should the NRC make to the license renewal program to ensure that all plants will continue to provide reasonable assurance of adequate protection of the public health and safety during the period of extended operation?
- Extending the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (LR GEIS) to 40 years from the current 20 years
