'Technically feasible' to restart TMI Unit 1, Constellation Energy responds to reports

Constellation Energy is reportedly in talks with Pennsylvania officials to fund a potential restart of its Three Mile Island power facility, according to Reuters.

Plus, a spokesperson for the company is telling CBS 21 they have determined it would be technically feasible to restart the unit, but they haven't made a decision yet. In an exclusive with the outlet, sources said the conversation is "beyond preliminary," but features plans to revive part of the nuclear generation site, Unit 1, which was operating from 1974 to 2019. Unit 1 is separate from the one that meltdown down all those years ago.

The outlet said Constellation has spoken with the Governor's office and state lawmakers about the potential plan. CBS 21 has reached out to several lawmakers in the area who said they did not know anything about the reported conversations.As first reported by Reuters, no U.S. nuclear power plant has been reopened after shutting.

Reuters also said that Constellation claims it would be technically feasible to restart the unit, but a decision has not yet been made. Constellation also told Reuters that it had cleared an engineering study of the plant.As the operator of the nation’s largest fleet of reliable, carbon-free nuclear power plants, we are always looking for ways to add more clean energy and accelerate the transition to a carbon-free future.
