NRC greenlights Constellation’s $167M modernization plan for Limerick

Constellation announced the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved a License Amendment Request for the Limerick Clean Energy Center’s Digital Modernization Project, an upgrade across major control and protection systems that will enhance reliability, diagnostic capability and cyber resilience at one of the nation’s top-rated nuclear facilities. “This approval comes at a critical time as Constellation works to preserve and expand nuclear generation in Pennsylvania,” the company stated. “Every dollar we invest to enhance and modernize the nation’s largest nuclear fleet will pay dividends for American families and businesses by creating jobs, keeping costs down, improving reliability and adding much-needed capacity to fuel economic growth. With continued support from the Department of Energy, we are investing in our workforce and new state-of-the-art technologies to power the future,” said Joe Dominguez, President and CEO of Constellation.
