Despite record-high capacity factors and reduced operating costs, the U.S. nuclear power industry is threatened by federal and state policies and an "increasingly distorted" energy market, NEI CEO Maria Korsnick said.

A senior DOE official told Congress the department has no estimates on the cost of the coal and nuclear power bailout President Trump ordered.

An NRC official said that his team would likely recommend that the commission replace a portion of its inspections with a self-assessment regime.

Supporters of the DOE NOPR have promoted an insane rush to judgment, according to columnist Steve Huntoon.

Entergy said it will continue to operate the Palisades nuclear plant until early 2022 under the terms of its original agreement with Consumers Energy.

More than 300 participants attended the 70th Annual Symposium of the New England Conference of Public Utilities Commissioners (NECPUC).

The NRC Inspector General last week issued his annual report on the agency’s most serious management and performance challenges, highlighting concerns over cybersecurity, reactor inspections and licensing.

NRC ruled the original study underestimated the economic impacts of a severe accident at Indian Point.

NRC approved Entergy’s request to extend the time between leak tests at the Indian Point power plant to 15 years instead of 10.

A visual inspection by an NRC inspector found no active leakage of radioactive water at the Indian Point plant.
