Progress Energy To Seek License for Second Nuclear Plant
Progress Energy plans to file for two combined construction and operating licenses for two dual-unit nuclear powerplants in Florida and the Carolinas and hopes to begin construction in 2010 with start up in 2015.
The Raleigh, N.C.-based utility on Nov. 1 notified the Nuclear Regulatory Commission of its plan to apply for a second combined license. It notified the NRC in August that it would apply for a combined construction and operating license for a plant in Florida.
