LCG, May 30, 2025--NuScale Power Corporation (NuScale), a leading provider of advanced small modular reactor (SMR) nuclear technology, yesterday announced that it has received design approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for its uprated 77 MW power modules. NuScale states that it remains the only SMR technology company with design approval from the NRC, and the company remains on track for deployment by 2030, with 50- and 77-MW SMR options.

LCG, May 29, 2025--The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) released an analysis yesterday showing that the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), the grid operator for most of the state, is increasing its curtailment of the rapidly growing solar- and wind-powered generation facilities in order to balance electricity supply and demand, which is necessary to maintain a stable electric system.

NRC Defers Decision Point for Duke's Proposed Lee Nuclear Station
LCG, July 31, 2013--The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) stated that it will not make a decision on Duke Energy's combined construction and operating license (COL) application for two nuclear units in South Carolina until 2016 due to federal budget cuts and Duke's decision late last year to change the location of the reactors by approximately 66 feet. The new schedule delays the NRC decisions by approximately three years.
In February 2008, Duke received notification from the NRC that the COL application to install two Westinghouse AP1000 (advanced passive) reactors at the Lee Nuclear Station that was submitted in December 2007 was accepted and docketed.
The NRC stated yesterday that the final hearing on the COL application is now expected to be held in April 2016, a delay from the previous target of March 2013.
Another factor driving the delay is a federal court decision that prevents the NRC from issuing new reactor licenses until its waste confidence rule is revised, which is anticipated to occur in September 2014.
Duke has not made a final decision to build the Lee Nuclear Station, but is proceeding with the COL application process to maintain the option to construct the reactors to meet future needs. Duke's proposal is relatively unique for the United States in that Duke plans to build the reactors at a greenfield site, rather than to add capacity at an existing nuclear power station. The greenfield site is located in Cherokee County, South Carolina.
