Constellation seeks FERC help with Crane restart
When the former Three Mile Island-1 restarts in 2027 as the Crane Clean Energy Center, it will not face a delay of several years before it can be reconnected to the grid, Constellation CEO Joseph Dominguez said this week.
Among the items that emerged on Constellation and the Crane restart in Middletown, Pa., during last week’s CERAWeek energy conference was a Reuters report on an analysis from electric grid provider PJM suggesting the plant may not be connected to the grid until 2031.

With the current lack of progress towards disposal of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) in the U.S., AREVA continues to provide support on activities intended to ensure the continued and extended safe storage of used nuclear fuel (UNF)/SNF, while also preparing for future activities necessary to support an integrated and flexible UNF management program. This paper provides an overview and update of these activities, which range from supporting the licensing basis of existing dry storage systems through a demonstration project to developing elements of a transportation system for UNF/SNF to developing a future recycling facility, and how they support the safe and flexible management of UNF/SNF in the U.S.
