Enclosure The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions April 2025 status report as required by Section 5(c) of Executive Order 14156, of January 20, 2025, Declaring a National Energy Emergency In accordance with Section 5(c) of Executive Order 14156, entitled Declaring a National Energy Emergency, dated January 20, 2025, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is providing the below list of all current, planned, or potential NRC licensing actions that support the production, generation, and supply of domestic energy that may be subject to this requirement, as of this April 31, 2025 report.

Changes in this Report The Section 7 Endangered Species Act (ESA) consultation for the subsequent license for the project, Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 & 2 (Pacific Gas & Electric Co.) License Renewal Application, was completed on April 21, 2025, and has been removed from this list.

Tennessee Valley Authority submitted a Construction Permit Application for the Clinch River Nuclear Site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee on May 20, 2025, and has been moved from Planned or Potential License Application Reviews, to Current Licensing Reviews.

The Kairos Power Atlas Fuel Fabrication Facility has been added back to the list of planned or potential license applications for nuclear fuel cycle facilities, correcting an error in last months report.

Additionally, minor edits to project names have been made and identified in bold.
