LCG, May 14, 2026--The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced today that it is proposing a rule to revise wastewater limits, known as effluent limitations guidelines (ELG), for steam electric power plants that will help improve grid reliability and lower electricity prices while continuing to support clean and safe water resources. If finalized, the EPA's proposal is estimated to reduce electricity generation costs by as much as $1.1 billion annually, which could provide cost-savings to American consumers.

LCG, May 14, 2026--The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced the selection of eight companies to support the near-term deployment of advanced light-water small modular reactors (SMRs) in the United States. The DOE states that awardees will collectively receive more than $94 million in Federal cost-shared funding to spur additional Gen III+ SMR deployments by addressing key gaps that have hindered the domestic nuclear industry in licensing, supply chain, and site preparation.

FirstEnergy Nuke Restart Planned
LCG, Sept. 22, 2003--The Ohio-based Davis-Besse nuclear plant that was shut in February 2002, and belonging to FirstEnergy, may be restarted in four to six weeks following extensive testing, according to company officials.Extensive corrosion of the reactor-vessel lid, which went undiscovered during a number of prior inspections, led to the shutdown. Since that time, the loss of the 925 megawatts has impacted the local availability of generation in northern Ohio. Investigators of the August blackout have noted that this put the FirstEnergy service territory in a vulnerable position before another coal-fired unit tripped offline.Testing has focused on the cooling system for the plant, and operating pressure was gradually increased during procedures last week until difficulty with a valve brought a halt to the test. Lew Myers, FirstEnergy's chief operating officer for the nuclear division, has stated that the cooling system tests are giving promising results. A restart would need to have the approval of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
