The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved Holtec’s license termination plan for the Oyster Creek nuclear power station in New Jersey, setting out the roadmap for the final phase of decommissioning at a site the company wants to redevelop with four SMR-300 units.

Holtec said decommissioning and dismantling work at Oyster Creek is more than halfway complete. The company said the NRC approval reflects work by its engineering, radiation protection, environmental services, licensing, security and other teams.
