  • 2021-01754 — In the Matter of Tennessee Valley Authority Bellefonte Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 7313
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    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.

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking public comments on a proposed consent decree related to a lawsuit filed by the Delaware Riverkeeper Network. The lawsuit claims that the EPA did not timely update water quality standards for the Delaware River, as required by the Clean Water Act. The proposed consent decree would require the EPA to finalize these standards by June 30, 2025, and provide regular updates to the court. The public can submit comments until February 20, 2025, through the regulations.gov website.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA, which takes care of making sure our rivers stay clean, is asking people what they think about a plan to fix something they were a bit slow on, like forgetting to change water rules for the Delaware River. They want to know what everyone thinks by February 20, 2025.
