    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering extending the completion dates for construction permits for the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant in Alabama. The proposed extensions would move the deadlines for completing the two units to October 1, 2021. These changes would not alter the pre-existing environmental impacts since the most disruptive construction work is already completed. The NRC has determined there's no significant impact from extending the permits, so an environmental impact statement is not needed.

    Simple Explanation

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is letting a company called the Tennessee Valley Authority have more time to finish building part of a power plant in Alabama. They checked and found this doesn't cause any new problems for the environment, so it's okay to let them take a little longer.

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has granted an extension for the construction completion dates of the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2, owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), until October 1, 2021. The initial construction permits were issued in 1974, but the projects have been delayed. The NRC found that there is a valid reason for the extension and that it does not pose significant safety risks. This extension allows more time to resolve an ongoing legal dispute concerning the plant's sale.

    Simple Explanation

    The bosses in charge of keeping nuclear power plants safe have given more time to finish building a power plant that they started a looong time ago, because there are some things that need to be figured out in court first. They believe it won't make the plant unsafe, so they're okay with waiting a bit longer.
