NRC clears Oyster Creek closeout, Holtec plans four SMR-300s
The NRC approved Holtec's License Termination Plan for the retired Oyster Creek Generating Station in New Jersey on July 30, the final regulatory milestone in decommissioning the site. Holtec plans to build four SMR-300 small modular reactors there with about 1.36 GW of combined capacity, targeting commercial operation in 2036 and projecting roughly 4,000 construction jobs, making Oyster Creek Holtec's third U.S. SMR-300 site after Palisades and Green River, Utah.
