    NRC LIAISON REPORT Senate Panel Clears Ostendorff For Second Term On Commission. The Dow Jones Newswires (6/9, Tracy) reports that the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee unanimously approved William Ostendorff's nomination for a second term as an NRC commissioner. Diablo Canyon Relicensing On Hold Until Seismic Studies Done. The Orange County Register (6/10, Sforza) reports, "The controversial re-licensing of Central California's Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant has entered a state of suspended animation - something officials at your neighborhood nuclear power plant are watching very closely." The NRC's "Atomic Safety and Licensing Board ordered Diablo's operator to report monthly on the progress of seismic studies probing hidden earthquake risks" and the agency says it "won't consider giving the plant an extra 20 years to operate until those studies are done." U.S. Nuke Industry Sets Fukushima Response Plan: The building blocks call for the industry to: • Maintain focus on excellence in existing plant performance, assigned to INPO; • Develop and issue lessons learned from the Fukushima events (INPO): • Improve the effectiveness of U.S. industry response capability to global nuclear events (INPO/NEI); • Develop and implement a strategic communications plan (NEI); • Develop and implement the industry’s regulatory response to the accident (NEI); • Participate and coordinate with international organizations to ensure that findings from international investigations into the accident are used to inform U.S. industry response actions (INPO/EPRI): and • Provide technical support and R&D coordination necessary to address safety and other issues identified by the industry (EPRI/nuclear plant owners’ group).

  • June 2, 2011 the Honorable Thomas R. Carper Chairman, Subcommittee
    June 2, 2011 The Honorable Thomas R. Carper Chairman, Subcommittee on Clean Air and Nuclear Safety Committee on Environment and Public Works United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Mr. Chairman: On behalf of the Commission, I am pleased to submit the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC’s) semi-annual report on the status of our licensing and other regulatory activities. Before reviewing our actions, I want to summarize and update the NRC’s response to events in Japan. On March 11, 2011, a devastating earthquake hit Japan, resulting in the shutdown of more than 10 reactors in that country. The ensuing tsunami, however, appears to have caused the loss of normal and emergency alternating current power to the six units at the Fukushima Daiichi site. Shortly after 9:00 AM EDT on March 11, we went into the monitoring mode at the NRC’s Emergency Operations Center and the first concern for the NRC was possible impacts of the tsunami on U.S. nuclear plants and radioactive materials on the West Coast, Hawaii, Alaska, and U.S. Territories in the Pacific. On that same day, we began interactions with our Japanese regulatory counterparts and began dispatching staff to assist the Japanese Government with technical support as part of the U.S. Agency for International Development response and to support the U.S. Ambassador in Japan. I personally traveled to Tokyo on March 28, to convey directly to my Japanese counterparts a message of support and cooperation, and to discuss the current situation. We continue to monitor the situation and provide on-the-ground assistance in Japan.

  • United States of America
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (Updated 2014) 1. GENERAL INFORMATION The United States of America's (U.S.) nuclear power industry is the largest in the world. Of the 104 operating reactors in the United States in 2012, 4 reactors were permanently shut down in 2013. In 2013, the United States generated an estimated 789 net terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity from 100 nuclear reactors. France, the second largest producer in the world, generated about half that amount. The industry includes most phases of the fuel cycle, from uranium exploration and mining to nuclear waste disposal, but does not include reprocessing. Many services and supplies to the U.S. nuclear power industry are imported. Most of the U.S. nuclear power industry is privately owned and managed, although federal, state, municipal, and regional agencies own and manage nine reactors and have partial ownership of other reactors. 1.1. Country Overview 1.1.1 Governmental System The United States is a constitutional federal republic, consisting of fifty states, one federal district, three territories, and two commonwealths. The federal government is composed of three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial. The executive branch is led by the President. The legislative branch is composed of a bicameral Congress, which includes the Senate and House of Representatives. The judicial branch includes the Supreme Court as well as lower federal courts. 1.1.2 Geography and Climate The United States extends over the midsection of North America, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean plus Alaska and Hawaii. The three inhabited territories are found in the Caribbean Sea (U.S.

He identified that the desired outcomes for the meeting include preview of IEEE 338 and a presentation of the proposed revised model for maintenance of the standards. The attendees introduced themselves. The rolling attendance is provided as an attachment. We need to start working on how the various working groups will work during the SC-3 meetings. We now have three WGs actively involved in standards work, and the membership for the WGs and the time available for them to meet need to be re-examined to avoid conflicts and loss of time. Options include: WGs meet Monday/Tuesday around the SC-3 meeting and Wednesday (means an added room and that NPEC members miss Wednesday WG meeting) Continue the WGs meeting Monday/Tuesday around the SC-3 meeting, breaking up into 2-3 groups (complicated when persons are members of multiple WGs) Meet on Thursday for leftover work, or for individual WGs (which Jim P.
