June 26, 2025 Week Ending: June 13, 2025 ENCLOSURE C Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Items of Interest Long Mott Energy, LLC On June 10, 2025, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff issued a letter to Long Mott Energy, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Dow Chemical Company, providing the staffs expected review schedule and estimated resources for its review of the Long Mott Generating Station (LMGS) construction permit application (CPA) (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML25155B841). The staff expects to complete its review of the LMGS CPA by November 2026 (18-month review), and estimates that approximately 28,500 staff-hours and $1.3M in contract support will be required for the review.

Department of the Air Force On June 11, 2025, the Department of the Air Force (DAF) announced that on May 30, the DAF in coordination with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy Office, issued a Notice of Intent to Award (NOITA) for the DAF Microreactor Pilot, to Oklo as the selected offeror. The NOITA initiates the acquisition process to potentially award the contract to the offeror, pending their successful completion of the NRC licensing process. If ultimately awarded, Oklo would be responsible for siting, developing, and operating a licensed microreactor facility under a long-term power purchase agreement at DAFs preferred location, Eielson Air Force Base in Fairbanks, Alaska. The staff is coordinating with DAF to understand the impact of Executive Orders on licensing and whether an NRC license would still be requested.

EPRI Technical Report Enhanced Risk-Informed Categorization Methodology for Pressure Boundary Components On June 13, 2025, the NRC staff issued the draft safety evaluation for proprietary review to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) regarding the submitted Technical Report 3002025288, Enhanced Risk-Informed Categorization Methodology for Pressure Boundary Components. This represents a significant milestone in the process and demonstrates NRC staffs ability to appropriately apply risk insights to this high visibility industry priority which will allow more flexibility in support of 10 CFR 50.69 applications. The staff completed this review in under a year, and over 2 months ahead of the proposed schedule.

Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Subsequent Acceptance Review On June 13, 2025, the NRC staff completed the acceptance review (ML25154A110) for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (Hatch) subsequent license renewal (SLR) application (ML25135A391), meeting the 30-day acceptance review metric. The NRC staff determined that the application is acceptable for review and estimated that the review will be completed in 12 months and within 10,500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> (7,700 hours0.0081 days <br />0.194 hours <br />0.00116 weeks <br />2.6635e-4 months <br /> for safety and 2,800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br /> for environmental).

Regarding the environmental review, the staff will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will be used to determine whether an environmental impact statement is necessary, or a finding of no significant impact is warranted to satisfy the NRCs National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) obligations. The SLR application requests an extension of the operating licenses for an additional 20 years beyond the current operating licenses that expire on August 6, 2034, for Unit 1, and June 13, 2038, for Unit 2.
