"Progress Energy wants approval to construct a new "cooling tower" at the Crystal River nuclear plant to help lower temperatures of discharge from the facility. The company needs the tower to help it comply with regulations about thermal output, as it works to upgrade the plant. The construction of the cooling tower and its operations would affect more than 1.3 acres of wetlands and 3.1 acres of surface waters. The impact on the wetlands "may affect" the West Indian manatee. It is unlikely that other wildlife will be affected, according to the utility's application. The company powered down the nuclear plant in September for a major maintenance project that was expected to be done by the end of December. But shortly after the job began, workers discovered that part of the containment wall had separated into two layers. "

Federal review of a new nuclear reactor design will take 15 months longer than expected, although the impact on planned nuclear projects is expected to be minimal, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Six U.S. energy companies, including Progress Energy and Florida Power & Light, plan to build the 1,100-megawatt Westinghouse AP1000 reactors. The delay in finalizing the reactor design is not expected to lead to significant delays in the licensing and building of planned reactors, said Scott Burnell, a spokesman for the commission. Progress Energy, for instance, has plans for a $17 billion nuclear project in Levy County originally scheduled to come online around 2016 or 2017.

The Florida Public Service Commission on Wednesday granted Progress Energy an increase in its average monthly rates to cover its increasing fuel expenses and make environmental improvements to its existing power plants. The request, which raises the average power customer's bill $15.87 a month, follows an earlier PSC meeting this fall when the five-member panel approved another Progress Energy hike of $11.42 to begin paying the cost of building its proposed Levy County nuclear power plant.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has launched a special inspection of a crack in a containment building wall at Progress Energy's (PGN.N) 838-megawatt Crystal River nuclear power station in Florida, the agency said late Thursday. The unit shut Sept. 26 for an extended refueling outage that will include replacement of two steam generators and other work to increase the unit's output. A crack was found as workers began removing concrete to create an opening for new generators, Progress told the NRC in a report.

Progress Energy's road to building its proposed nuclear power plant in Levy County northwest of Dunnellon is becoming anything but smooth. On Wednesday, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board - an arm of the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission - ruled that the Green Party of Florida and two other environmental groups could challenge the utility company's plan for two new nuclear reactors and had successfully raised major concerns about the plant's potential environmental impact. That means Progress Energy will have to argue its case about those environmental issues during a legal hearing, including in oral arguments, or change some of its construction plans.

Four years ago, state lawmakers allowed power companies to charge you to build their nuclear power plants. But now one state senator says enough is enough - and he's looking to put a stop to it. Progress Energy customers are paying $4 for every 1000 kilowatt hours in what's called a nuclear recovery charge. Senator Mike Fasano thinks it's time for a refund. "Nothing stop us from passing law that says we're going to stop these recapture for the utility companies. And we're going to force the utility companies to refund every dime they've collected thus far."

Tampa Bay legislators plan on taking a whack at a two-year-old law that allows Progress Energy to charge customers for its $17-billion nuclear project years before it starts producing electricity. The law paved the way for the average Progress Energy bill to rise by about $13 a month, contributing to the 25 percent increase customers will see starting in January. Customers just can't afford it, said state Sen. Mike Fasano, who voted for the law in 2006. Fasano now says his vote was a "mistake." He did not realize just how high bills would go, he said.

Progress Energy on Monday said it had signed a $7.65-billion engineering, procurement and construction contract with the consortium of Westinghouse and The Shaw Group to build two Westinghouse AP1000 reactors at a site in Levy County, Florida, near its existing Crystal River-3 reactor. The utility said forecasted inflation, owner costs and contingencies will bring the total cost of the two-unit project to about $14 billion. The estimate also includes land price, plant components, financing costs, construction, labor, regulatory fees and reactor fuel for two units. An additional $3 billion is estimated for the necessary transmission equipment and about 200 miles of transmission lines associated with the project, Progress said.

An Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, or ASLB, panel accepted one contention for a hearing on Progress Energy's combined construction permit-operating license, or COL, application for a new unit at its Harris plant in North Carolina. The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board panel said in an October 30 order that the North Carolina Waste Awareness and Reduction Network, or NC WARN, has standing to intervene and accepted a contention the group filed in August. NC WARN contends that the Harris COL application is incomplete because the NRC is still reviewing proposed amendments to its certification of the Westinghouse AP1000 design that Progress Energy plans to use. The ASLB panel said a hearing on the contention will be "held in abeyance" pending further review by the NRC staff and resolution of the issues in the ongoing design certification amendment rulemaking.

Building two nuclear reactors in Wake County could cost Progress Energy customers more than $9.3 billion. The cost estimate, disclosed this month to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, is Progress Energy's latest projection for the Shearon Harris proposal. It doubles the previous estimate of $4.4 billion provided in February, when the Raleigh utility applied to the NRC for a license to build two reactors at the site in Wake County. For nuclear critics, soaring costs offer the strongest case against building new plants. The power industry has long argued that nuclear plants produce the cheapest electricity, but those arguments have been buried under an avalanche of contrary evidence.
