A little wonder, every day

In the U.S., a reactor license can be renewed for up to 80 years

1 / 2

U.S. licenses can be renewed after review.

An initial U.S. nuclear reactor operating license is generally issued for 40 years. After review, the regulator can renew it for 20 years, and a further renewal can allow operation for up to 80 years total. This does not mean every reactor operates that long: decisions depend on safety reviews and management of aging equipment.
