LCG, July 31, 2013--The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) stated that it will not make a decision on Duke Energy's combined construction and operating license (COL) application for two nuclear units in South Carolina until 2016 due to federal budget cuts and Duke's decision late last year to change the location of the reactors by approximately 66 feet. The new schedule delays the NRC decisions by approximately three years.
