Portland General Electric Company Seeks NRC Rulemaking to Clarify Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage Regulations
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has received a petition for rulemaking from Portland General Electric Company and requests public comment on proposed changes to regulations governing the storage of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. The company aims to clarify the process for interim storage of radioactive waste produced from reactor operations before it is transferred to a permanent disposal facility.
