Duke Energy submits an ESP application to the NRC
Following up on an October announcement on plans to invest more heavily in nuclear power, Duke Energy closed out 2025 by submitting an early site permit application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This ESP application is for a site near the Belews Creek Steam Station, a coal and natural gas plant in Stokes County, N.C., where Duke has been pursuing a new nuclear project for two years.

Knowledge transfer and preservation are key to a successful continuation of the nuclear criticality safety discipline. To facilitate this, we are interviewing several experienced and mid-career scientists in the field with questions from newer members. Questions include: what do you wish you knew at five years into the career; what was the most important thing you learned in your career; and would you do anything different if you got to do it again? We will also be soliciting questions from the audience.
