NRC ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY OF LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION FOR SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 |
|||||||||
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced today that an application for a 20-year renewal of the operating license for the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2, is available for public review. The Susquehanna plant has two boiling water reactors and is located approximately seven miles northeast of Berwick, Pa. The current operating licenses expire July 17, 2022, for Unit 1 and March 23, 2024, for Unit 2. The applicant, PPL Susquehanna, Inc., submitted the renewal application Sept. 15. The application 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 its initial reviews of the application to determine whether it contains enough information for the required formal reviews. If the application has sufficient information, the NRC will formally “docket,” or file it and will announce an opportunity for the public to request an adjudicatory hearing on the renewal request. Additional information about the NRC’s review of reactor license renewal applications is available on the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal.html.
