Triangle picked as nuclear site
Progress Energy to seek license for two new reactors at Shearon Harris in Wake

John Murawski, Staff Writer
Progress Energy plans to build its next nuclear reactors at its Shearon Harris nuclear plant in Wake County.
Executives with the Raleigh utility said Monday that they will seek a federal license for two new reactors at the site, setting a timetable to build the first of the two reactors within a decade.

The selection of Shearon Harris, about 20 miles southwest of Raleigh, puts North Carolina in the forefront of a resurgence in nuclear power.

Progress Energy and Charlotte-based Duke Power are among a dozen companies seeking licenses to build the nation's first nuclear reactors since a partial meltdown at the Three Mile Island plant in Pennsylvania paralyzed the industry a quarter-century ago.

Shearon Harris is the first of three sites expected to be named this year to house up to six new reactors in the Carolinas and Florida.

1. If you want to fight this, it will be necessary to start early. In recent

years the NRC has "streamlined" the licensing process to reduce options for citizen input.

The industry's tactic will be to try to discourage people from getting involved early, in the hopes that important deadlines will pass unnoticed.
