NRC approves extension for generator at Callaway nuclear power station

Jul 03 - Global Data Point

The NRC extended Callaway Energy Center's deadline to have a portable generator available to power spent fuel pool instrumentation in case of a natural disaster.

The requirement is on behalf of a 2012 order following the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan .

Meanwhile, the nuclear plant is expected to be in full compliance by the fall 2014.

The company plans to complete the construction of an on-site building to store a portable generator in 2014.
