NRC Grants Cooper Nuclear Station 20-Year License Renewal

NRC Grants Cooper Nuclear Station 20-Year License Renewal
The NRC has granted the 830-MW Nebraska Public Power District-owned Cooper Nuclear Station an extended 20-year operating license, PowerGen Worldwide reported. The NRC said that "after careful review of the plant's safety systems and specifications, the staff concluded that there were no safety concerns that would preclude license renewal and that the applicant had effectively demonstrated the capability to manage the effects of plant aging." The plant went online in 1972, the Associated Press reported.
