Notice

Summary

Duke Energy Progress got a green light from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to skip a usual safety review step for renewing the license of the H.B. Robinson nuclear plant. This means the plant’s license renewal won’t need extra committee checks, speeding up the process without extra costs. The exemption took effect on April 2, 2026, making things smoother and quicker for everyone involved.
