Recent news about nuclear power plants would not seem to be conducive to building a new nuclear plant, but five electric companies are keeping their plans for new reactors alive.

Earlier this month, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission authorized a combined construction and operating license (COL) for a third reactor at Dominion Virginia Power’s operating North Anna nuclear plant in near Mineral Spring, Va. Dominion filed with the NRC for the COL in 2007.

In December, the NRC issued a COL for two reactors at Duke Energy’s William States Lee plant in Gaffney, S.C.

And last November the NRC issued a final Environmental Impact Statement for two new reactors Florida Power & Light has proposed at its existing Turkey Point nuclear station.

Very interesting to see what comes out of this.
