Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants

If the renewed license is issued, the appropriate energy-planning decisionmakers, along with STPNOC, will ultimately decide if the reactor units will continue to operate based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating licenses are not renewed, then the facility must be shut down on or before the expiration dates of the current operating licenses-August 20, 2027, and December 15, 2028.
