NRC delays Global Laser Enrichment license decision

Castle Hayne | The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has delayed its decision on a license for Global Laser Enrichment's proposed uranium enrichment facility in Castle Hayne.

Noting it had hoped to issue a decision this month, NRC's Atomic Safety and Licensing Board issued a notice Monday that the decision has been delayed until September "due to the challenges of safeguarding the classified and other types of nonpublic information introduced" at the evidentiary hearing in Rockville, Md., on July 11-12.

In January 2010, the commission accepted General Electric's licensing proposal to build the world's first laser enrichment facility. Global Laser is a venture of General Electric, Hitachi and uranium miner Cameco.
