NRC ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY OF LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION
FOR BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2
Printable Version

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced today that an application for a 20-year renewal of the operating licenses for Units 1 and 2 of the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant is available for public review.

The Brunswick plant is located just north of Southport, N.C., and the current operating licenses for Units 1 and 2 expire on Sept. 8, 2016, and Dec. 27, 2014, respectively.

The licensee, Carolina Power & Light Co. (now doing business as Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc.), submitted the renewal application Oct. 20. It is available on the NRC Web site at this address: http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/applications.html.

The NRC staff is currently conducting an initial review of the application to determine whether it contains enough information for the required formal review. If the application has sufficient information, the NRC will formally “docket,” or file, the application and will announce an opportunity to request a public hearing.
