American energy company Duke Energy has officially submitted a permit application to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, aimed at assessing the feasibility of establishing a nuclear reactor at its Belews Creek plant in North Carolina. This early site permit process could take 18 months and is intended to reduce the risk of delays if the company decides to pursue nuclear construction in the future.
