US nuclear regulator proposes no-significant-hazard finding for Calvert Cliffs license amendment
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has received a request to amend the operating licenses for Units 1 and 2 of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. The agency proposes finding that the change poses no significant safety hazard, and it is opening a period for public comment and hearing requests. Because the request includes restricted security-related information, the NRC has also set rules for who can view it, which is a step meant to let interested parties prepare objections.
