NRC approves V.C. Summer’s second license renewal
Dominion Energy’s V.C. Summer nuclear power plant, in Jenkinsville, S.C., has been authorized to operate for 80 years, until August 2062, following the renewal of its operating license by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a second time.

Expressions are developed for the maximum concentrations and discharge rates of radioactive nuclide chains migrating through an adsorbing medium. These expressions are presented in terms of nondimensional parameters. Conditions are established that quantify the reconcentration effort of radionuclide chain migration in terms of the non-dimensional parameters. This approach provides a relatively simple mechanism for determining an upper bound to the concentrations or release rates of parent and daughter radionuclides in groundwater.
