The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said Monday that the agency had published its supplemental Environmental Impact Statement pertaining to the application concerning a 20-year license extension for the River Bend nuclear power plant in Louisiana.
The NRC said its staff had not found any issues in the report that would preclude the federal regulator from issuing an additional 20-year license for the power plant, a boiling water reactor 24 miles northwest of Baton Rouge.
The plant is owned and operated by Entergy Louisiana, LLC and Entergy Operations, Inc. The companies submitted the application for an extended license on May 31, 2017.
