    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.
