Issuance of the Renewed Operating Licenses for Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant

On June 27, 2011, the operating licenses for Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 

and 2, were renewed authorizing operation for an additional 20 years beyond the original 

license expiration dates. The new expiration dates are August 9, 2033, for Unit 1 and 

October 29, 2034, for Unit 2. The staff completed its review as documented in the Safety 

Evaluation Report issued October 2009 (as supplemented in April 2011) and the Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement, NUREG-1437, Supplement 39, issued May 2011. The 

issuance of the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant renewed licenses brings the total 

number of renewals to 68 reactor units. 

 

Staff Holds Public Meetings to Solicit Comments on the Draft Supplemental Environmental 

Impact Statement (SEIS) for the License Renewal of Crystal River Unit 3

On June 28, 2011, the staff held two public meetings in Crystal River, Florida, to solicit 

comments on the draft SEIS for the proposed renewal of the operating license for Crystal River 

Unit 3. The report contains the NRC’s preliminary finding that there are no environmental 

impacts that would preclude license renewal for an additional 20 years of operation. 

Approximately 60 people attended the meetings, including members of the public, local news 

media, NRC staff, and representatives of Progress Energy. Public comments included 

concerns about the damaged containment building, alternatives to license renewal (specifically 

solar power and efficiency), and the recent Associated Press article regarding aging nuclear 

power plants. The public comment period will close on July 25, 2011. 

Issuance of the Renewed Operating Licenses for Salem Nuclear Generating Station

On June 30, 2011, the operating licenses for the Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and 

2, were renewed, authorizing operation for an additional 20 years beyond the original license 

expiration dates. The new expiration dates are August 13, 2036, for Unit 1 and April 18, 2040, 

for Unit 2. The staff completed its review as documented in the Safety Evaluation Report, 

NUREG-2101, published June 2011 and the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, 

NUREG-1437, Supplement 45, published March 2011. The issuance of the Salem Nuclear 

Generating Station renewed licenses brings the total number of renewals to 70 reactor units.
