The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering a change to the operating license for Florida Power and Light Company's Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 4. This amendment would delay the installation of new reactor coolant pump seals from spring 2025 to spring 2027 due to unexpected fabrication delays. The NRC has preliminarily determined that this change does not pose significant safety risks and is accepting public comments until March 21, 2025. Requests for a hearing or petitions to intervene can be filed by April 21, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The NRC is thinking about letting a power company wait two more years to fix a part in their nuclear plant because it’s taking longer than expected to make the part, and people can share their thoughts or ask for a talk about it.
