Commissioner Wright and Commissioner Crowell visit Commonwealth Fusion Systems in Massachusetts. CFS is one of several firms seeking to use nuclear fusion (where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium) to generate electricity. The company is currently developing a system using powerful magnetic fields to control the extremely hot plasma that sustains a fusion reaction.

NRC staffers hold a meeting on board the Nuclear Ship Savannah, docked in Baltimore, to accept public comments on the vessel’s License Termination Plan. The hybrid session is the first time the NRC has conducted a public meeting aboard a seagoing vessel. As the Savannah nears the end of a multi-year decommissioning process, the U.S. Maritime Administration submitted the termination plan for NRC review. It spells out how the final steps will be carried out, including thorough checks for any residual radioactivity. The Savannah was defueled in 1971 and its reactor vessel removed at the end of 2022.

The ADVANCE Act, signed last month, is landmark bipartisan legislation directing us to become more efficient while retaining our fundamental mission of safety regulation. Mike King is the NRC’s point person for implementing the Act. Mike reports to our Executive Director for Operations and will be coordinating resources and setting the strategy, including assessing staff ideas and creative solutions, breaking down barriers and establishing working groups to implement changes. Some of those changes will come quickly, while others will take time to fully implement. Mike has been with us for nearly 20 years and previously was a Navy submarine officer.

NRC Commissioner Annie Caputo visiting sites important to Canada’s nuclear industry, including a trip to the McArthur River Mine. Located in northern Saskatchewan, it is one of the world’s largest high-grade uranium mines. The uranium from this mine is processed at the Key Lake Mill – which she also visited -- with the fuel supporting Canada’s nuclear power sector, which includes the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station – another stop on the itinerary. In this photo, they’re 2,000 feet underground in the McArthur River mine, in front of Cameco’s uranium mining equipment!
