The US Department of Energy (DOE) has issued guidance for the second award cycle of the Civil Nuclear Credit (CNC) programme for nuclear power plants at risk of closing or have already been shut down. The guidance expands the number of reactors eligible for some of CNC’s $6bn in overall funding made available by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Civil nuclear credits of $1.2bn a year are available in fiscal years 2022 to 2026. Money not allocated will be available for future credits until spent or until September 2031.

The company said it will submit its application next year, when the US Department of Energy starts accepting applications for the second round of the Civil Nuclear Credit Program, a $6bn (€5.6bn) investment through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help preserve the existing US reactor flee.
In November, Texas-based Holtec said the DOE had rejected its application for funding for Palisades, which the company acquired earlier in 2022 for decommissioning after it was permanently shut down by previous owner Entergy.
At the same time, the Biden administration announced the approval of up to $1.1bn in conditional funding to keep California’s last commercial nuclear power station, the two-unit Diablo Canyon, online beyond its scheduled shutdown in 2025.
