Presenter: NRC review ahead of schedule; Wyoming siting council approval enables phased work
Summary
The presenter said Nuclear Regulatory Commission review is two months ahead of schedule and that Wyoming Industrial Siting Council approval allowed the project to begin Energy Island construction on part of the footprint this year; full nuclear construction awaits NRC clearance.
The presenter reported that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission review was "2 months ahead of schedule" and said that, because of Wyoming Industrial Siting Council approval, construction can start on a portion (0.667) of the plant footprint this year. He said nuclear construction will begin next year once NRC approval is received.
The speaker also explained that separating the turbine island from the nuclear island allowed a different regulatory approach, citing discussions with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Those regulatory steps were presented as enabling phased construction and reducing some regulatory hurdles for the non-nuclear portion of the site.
