Dive Brief:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed a safety review of plans to expand a Texas nuclear facility, concluding the project can be safely constructed and operated and that the applicants can finance the facilities, the San Antonio Business Journal reports.
Nuclear Innovation North America LLC (NINA), a partnership between NRG Energy and Toshiba, is behind the application to construct two new units and add an additional 2,700 MW of carbon-free capacity to Texas markets.
Earlier this year, the project cleared another hurdle when regulators determined Japan-based Toshiba did not control the project's safety, security or finances.
While the NRC is making progress on the Texas license, a project proposed by Tennessee Valley Authority will likely be the first new nuclear reactor to come online since 1996. The 1,150-MW Watts Bar-2 unit has been the subject of much scrutiny and has been under construction for 40 years. But a week ago, it received an operating license from the federal government. The unit is scheduled to begin operations next year.
