Nuclear Regulatory Commission Renews Comanche Peak Licenses

July 31, 2024 – The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has renewed the operating licenses of Comanche
Peak Units 1 and 2 for an additional 20 years.

Comanche Peak Units 1 and 2 are pressurized-water reactors about 40 miles southwest of
Fort Worth, Texas. Unit 1’s operating license will now expire Feb. 8, 2050, and Unit 2’s on Feb.
2, 2053.

The NRC’s review of the application proceeded on two tracks. A safety evaluation report
was issued in March, and a final supplemental environmental impact statement was issued in
April. These documents, as well as other information regarding the Comanche Peak license
renewal application, are available on the NRC website, which also contains information about
the license renewal process.
