BREAKING NEWS 👉👉👉 We are thrilled to share a major victory from our Turkey Point nuclear plant operating license extension challenge today! After years of legal challenges and our appeal pending for over a year, just this morning the NRC announced that it is reversing itself and repealing the 80-year license extension for Turkey Point. As you may know, we have been challenging the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's decision to give an operating license to Turkey Point to run until 2052 -- that would make it the nation's first 80-year old nuclear plant. We challenged this license because the NRC weren't appropriately considering sea level rise or ongoing, site-specific environmental concerns in their license extension decision. Turkey Point will be back to having its operating license expire in 2032 -- and the NRC will now be requiring a full and updated environmental review for any future license extensions -- the outcome that we have been working for. This is a big victory for resiliency, safety, and the environment -- and it affects plants around the nation. There's more work on this to come, but today, we celebrate! Big shout out to our partners at @NRDC and @FriendsoftheEarth for being amazing advocates and partners.
