Summary
Constellation Energy got the green light to test their Nine Mile Point Unit 2 nuclear plant’s main steam valves at a lower pressure than usual, making the process safer and easier. This change, approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on February 3, 2026, affects plant operations but doesn’t impact costs or safety. It’s a smart move to keep things running smoothly without extra expenses or delays.
