The Senate's recently announced bipartisan budget agreement includes a provision that would eliminate the "in-service" deadline for the nuclear production tax credit. The provision would allow Vogtle to qualify for the credit, even if startup occurs after 2020. The provision could also help SMR and advanced reactor projects take advantage of the remaining credit in the next decade. It's not much to look at, but if you are feeling especially wonky, the provision can be found on Page 217 of the agreement.
