  • AmerenUE asks NRC to suspend Callaway new nuclear license review: AmerenUE has asked the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission to suspend its review of the company's July 2008 application for a combined construction permit-operati ng license to build a new nuclear unit at its Callaway plant in Missouri. In a June 23 letter to NRC released on Friday, Adam Heflin, senior vice president and chief nuclear officer, said "we have determined that it is in AmerenUE' s best interests to suspend the review" of the COL application and requested "that the NRC staff suspend all activities&quo t; related to the review. AmerenUE announced in April that it was dropping plans to build a 1,600-MW Areva US-EPR reactor at Callaway because the company did not think Missouri state lawmakers would be able to overturn the state's ban on recovering costs on construction work in progress. AmerenUE spokesman Mike Cleary said June 26 that NRC's review of the COL continued after that decision while AmerenUE "looked at its options," but it is now deemed "prudent& quot; to suspend the review.

  • Fulton Sun: Safety system concern at nuclear plant: A special investigation is underway to find the reason behind the failure of a piece of a safety system last month at the Callaway Nuclear Plant. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced Monday that a team of inspectors is looking into a problem that was found with a secondary feedwater pump at the plant May 25 that has raised concern about that backup safety precaution. "In routine testing that pump didn't start automatically, but we did determine that it could have been started manually," ; Ameren UE spokesman Mike Cleary said. "It was technically inoperable and we don't know when it failed between the previous test on May 4 and May 25.
  • South Texas: Nuke foes seek cost analysis: The groups fighting expansion of the nuclear South Texas Project want a detailed side-by-side comparison of how much it would cost to produce the same power with renewable resources such as wind and solar. They think such an analysis should be complete before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission considers granting a license for the multibillion-d ollar plan to build two more reactors outside this community. This was among the arguments a consortium of environmental groups made to a panel of judges with the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board at the second and final day of hearings on the project's permit application.
