Notice
Summary
Constellation Energy wants to keep the Christopher M. Crane Clean Energy Center running by renewing its power operations license. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission reviewed the environmental impact and found no big problems, while the Department of Energy may help with a loan to support refueling. People have until July 8, 2026, to share their thoughts before the final decision.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Reauthorization Would Provide 835 MWe to PJM Grid
If reauthorized and refueled, the Christopher M. Crane Clean Energy Center would provide 835 megawatts-electric of baseload power generation capability to the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland electric grid. Constellation Energy cites a 20-year power purchase agreement signed in 2024 with Microsoft to supply carbon-free energy from the plant into the PJM Interconnection grid.
NRC Finds No Significant Environmental Impact
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission preliminarily found that reauthorizing power operations and refueling at the Christopher M. Crane Clean Energy Center would NOT have significant effects on the human environment across land use, air quality, water, ecology, historic resources, health, waste, and accident analyses. The NRC issued a draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) instead of preparing an Environmental Impact Statement and is accepting public comments through July 8, 2026.
