The company said Monday that it submitted a license renewal application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which oversees nuclear plants in the U.S. Vistra said the two-unit nuclear plant near Glen Rose in Somervell County can produce enough electricity to power about 1.2 million Texas homes in normal conditions and 480,000 homes in periods of peak demand. The current licenses for units 1 and 2 extend through 2030 and 2033, respectively. The company wants those renewed through 2050 and 2053.Nuclear plants are known for their ability to produce power around the clock.
“Our country is navigating a massive transition to cleaner sources of electricity, and at the same time, we cannot lose sight of reliability,” Burke said. “Nuclear energy is uniquely positioned to provide that balance of emission-free power and always-on baseload capabilities.”
