    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has released a final environmental impact statement (EIS) assessing the potential environmental effects of renewing the operating licenses for Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3 in South Carolina for an additional 20 years. This site-specific EIS, known as NUREG-1437, Supplement 2, found that the environmental impacts are manageable and recommended that license renewal be considered as a viable option. The decision considers Duke Energy's reports, NRC’s independent reviews, consultation with government agencies, and public comments. The document is available for public viewing online, at the NRC, and at a local library in Seneca, SC.

    Simple Explanation

    Duke Energy wants to keep running its three big power plants in South Carolina for 20 more years, and the government looked at how this might affect the earth. They decided it's okay but didn't say a lot about money or explain everything simply.
