By letter dated March 21, 2022, the NRC staff informed Aerotest, the licensee for the ARRR, of this transfer. This change reflects that the licensing and safety basis for the ARRR are now consistent with a permanently shut down and defueled condition, following the NRCs issuance of a possession-only license amendment to Aerotest on December 6, 2021.
NRC Issued a Letter to Florida Power and Light for Renewed Licenses On March 25, 2022, NRC issued a change letter (ML22073A122) to Florida Power and Light for Turkey Point, Units 3 and 4, regarding its subsequent renewed operating license expiration dates. Following the Commissions direction in the February 24, 2022, Memorandum and Order (CLI-22-02 (ML22055A496)), the NRC staff modified the expiration dates for Subsequent Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-31 and DPR-41, for Turkey Point, Units 3 and 4, to reflect the end dates of the previous renewed licenses, July 19, 2032, and April 10, 2033, respectively.
NRC Issued a Letter to Constellation Energy LLC for Renewed Licenses On March 25, 2022, NRC issued a change letter (ML22073A193) to Constellation Energy Generation, LLC for Peach Bottom, Units 2 and 3, regarding its subsequent renewed operating license expiration dates. Following the Commissions direction in the February 24, 2022, Memorandum and Order (CLI-22-02 (ML22055A496)), the NRC staff modified the expiration dates for Subsequent Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-44 and DPR-56, for Peach Bottom, Units 2 and 3, to reflect the end dates of the previous renewed licenses, August 8, 2033, and July 2, 2034, respectively.
NRC Staff hosted a Public Webinar to Discuss Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 53 On March 29, 2022, the NRC staff hosted a public webinar to share proposals on key topics associated with the 10 CFR, Part 53 preliminary proposed rulemaking package, including previously received public comments. Representatives from the Nuclear Energy Institute, the United States Nuclear Industry Council, and the Breakthrough Institute, as well as other industry and public stakeholders, also provided perspectives on the use of the quantitative health objectives as a performance metric; how beyond design basis events are addressed; requirements to maintain doses to workers and the public consistent with as low as reasonably achievable objectives; and the inclusion of a facility safety program as an operational program.
Some stakeholders continued to express concerns about aspects of the preliminary proposed rule language, but in general the staff received positive feedback on the productive dialogue on these key issues.

NRC Staff to Revise Safety Review Schedule for Subsequent License Renewal Application (SLRA) for Oconee Nuclear Station On March 31, 2022, staff informed the licensee that due to the large quantity, and complexity, of outstanding technical issues related to the safety review that still remain unresolved for the SLRA for Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2 and 3 from Duke Energy Carolinas, the staff has determined that a schedule change is needed for issuance of the safety evaluation report and Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards Full Committee Meeting (August and October 2022, respectively). The staff will provide the licensee the revised schedule changes once all second-round requests for additional information responses have been received.
NRC Staff Received Regulatory Engagement Plan from Advanced Reactor Concepts On March 28, 2022, Advanced Reactor Concepts provided the staff with a Regulatory Engagement Plan (Plan) for their 100 MWe ARC-100 sodium-cooled fast reactor design that was selected by the DOE for an award under the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Programs ARC-20 phase. The Plan includes numerous meetings on the ARC-100 design, specific technical topics and the submittal of six topical reports and three technical papers in 2022 and 2023. The Plan does not commit to a specific licensing pathway or schedule but proposes using the Part 50 process for submitting construction permit and operating license applications.
