Application Review Schedule for the Combined License Application for William States Lee III Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2
The following table summarizes the key milestones in the schedule that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has established for its review of the application that Duke Energy submitted to obtain a combined license (COL) for two Westinghouse Advanced Passive 1000 (AP1000) pressurized-water reactors (PWRs) designated as William States Lee III Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2.
Detailed Review Schedule for COL Application: The schedule for the Westinghouse design certification amendment is currently under review. The design certification amendment schedule will affect the William States Lee SCOL combined license schedule for dependent sections such as Advanced SER with No Open Items, ACRS Review and Final SER Issuance. The posted William States Lee SCOL schedule does not currently reflect the necessary changes and will be updated after the Westinghouse schedule.
