Duke says NRC can address legal issues in a "timely manner"

Duke says NRC can address legal issues in a "timely manner"

Duke Energy isn't concerned that its proposal to construct new reactors in Florida could face delays because of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's suspension of licensing decisions while it addresses concerns about its waste confidence rule. Duke believes the agency will work "in a timely manner" to resolve the issues, said Rita Sipe, a spokeswoman for the utility. "We are encouraged that the NRC will continue to move forward with all licensing reviews and proceedings while it considers options for resolving the waste confidence issues raised by the court's remand," she said.
