New York Power Authority to Develop New Nuclear Facility in Upstate New York

LCG, June 23, 2025--The Governor of New York today directed the New York Power Authority (NYPA) to develop and construct an advanced nuclear power plant in upstate New York to deliver zero-emission power that supports a reliable and affordable electric grid. NYPA will lead the effort to develop at least one new nuclear energy facility with a combined capacity of at least one gigawatt (GW) of electricity, either alone or in partnership with private entities. The directive builds on the Governor’s 2025 State of the State to develop nuclear energy plans in New York.

NRC Accepts MHI's Nuclear Reactor Design Application for Review

LCG, March 5, 2008--The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on February 29 accepted for review an application from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) to certify the U.S. Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor (US-APWR) design. The US-APWR design supports a 1,700 MW nuclear power station design. A similar version is now under license review in Japan.

MHI filed its application to certify the design on December 31, 2007. The NRC will conduct a technical review and will issue a Safety Evaluation Report after all technical and safety questions are addressed. The NRC may then certify the design with an agency rulemaking. The NRC?s Office of New Reactors expects the review work will continue at least into 2011.

Given certification by the NRC, a company applying for a license to construct and operate a nuclear power plant could elect to use the design and reduce potential litigation, as safety issues resolved within the scope of the design certification would generally not be subject to litigation.

The US-APWR design was selected by Luminant (formerly TXU Power) for its planned new nuclear power plants, which include two new reactors at the existing, 2,300-MW Comanche Peak nuclear power station in Texas.
