An NRC request of Duke Energy

Before a change is considered, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is requesting more information from Duke Energy. It’s part of a current regulatory process involving the electric utility and the government agency watchdog. According to an NRC letter last week to Scott Batson, Site Vice President at Oconee Nuclear, the revision would permit each of the two Keowee Hydro emergency power generating units to be taken out of service for up to 75 days on a one-time basis for maintenance work.
