NRC Meeting on the Nuclear Ship Savannah

NRCgov posted a photo:

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 at NRC

NRCgov posted a photo:

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.
