Notes
Longest SLR in the set (~57 months), mostly waiting on the post-CLI-22 environmental review; safety review was complete in July 2023. The SLR status page lists 'Date Entering Subsequent Period of Extended Operation' 03/01/2056 and 04/06/2063 — these are the new license expiration dates (per News Release 26-049), so that column is mislabeled for this row. Whether the final schedule was compressed for EO 14300 is not stated in fetched sources. NRC decision target: originally 2023-07, latest 2026-04. Schedule: Original target 07/2023 (final SER 12/2022); affected by Feb 2022 GEIS orders; current page shows 04/2026; actual 04/28/2026. Intermediate schedules were not retrieved (Wayback fetches failed).
