  • Court ruling might delay reactor relicensing, Jaczko says
    A court ruling that requires the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to reassess on-site storage rules for radioactive waste could delay the relicensing of nuclear plants, said outgoing NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko. However, plants that have applied for license extensions could continue operate while the NRC works on the decision, Jaczko said. Seventy-three of the country's 104 nuclear plants have already secured license extensions, and the rest have either applied for relicensing or are expected to apply. Platts
