The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is seeking public comments on a draft supplemental environmental impact statement concerning the Clinton Power Station in Illinois. This statement is related to the proposed 20-year renewal of the station's operating license. A virtual public meeting is planned for May 6, 2025, and comments can be submitted electronically until June 2, 2025. The draft includes analysis of environmental impacts and considers alternatives to the renewal, with preliminary findings suggesting the renewal's impacts are manageable and should be considered by energy planners.
Simple Explanation
The NRC wants people to share their thoughts about letting a power station in Illinois keep running for 20 more years, and they are having an online meeting to talk about it. They're interested in hearing ideas before June 2, 2025, on whether it's a good idea and if there are other ways to make electricity.
