The exemption allows the NSA to remain in a peripheral basket cell, contrary to Appendix B, Table 2.1-1, which restricts NSA containing assemblies to designated interior cells. The NRC's determination is based on SNC's safety evaluation and supporting analyses demonstrating that the configuration continues to meet applicable safety requirements for criticality control, shielding, thermal performance, structural integrity, and confinement. 91 FR 55631 · FR Doc. 2026-17577 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-08-28/pdf/2026-17577.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/08/28/2026-17577/southern-nuclear-operating-company-vogtle-electric-generating-plant-units-1-and-2-independent-spent) ## Earlier 11 further days are in the [long-form archive](https://downstream.sh/daily/agency/nuclear-regulatory-commission/archive.md). ## Ask an assistant instead Everything on this page is also a tool call. Add `mcp.downstream.sh` as an MCP server — no key, no account — then paste this: ``` Using the Downstream MCP server at mcp.downstream.sh, call whats_new_since with agency "Nuclear Regulatory Commission" since 2026-08-28, then summarise what changed and list every deadline it created. ``` Reaches `whats_new_since`. The response carries its own citations and states what it is missing, including which dates it has no record for. --- Every document linked here is a work of the United States government and in the public domain. The Federal Register's HTML and XML renderings are unofficial; the PDF on each item is the official text, and that is the one to cite. Counts are arithmetic over published fields, dates are printed as filed, and titles are verbatim. Where we have nothing, this says nothing rather than estimating. The one-sentence agency summaries are machine-written from those same fields and are labelled where they appear.
