The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission was created as an expert, technical agency to protect public health, safety, and security, and regulate the civilian use of nuclear materials, including enabling the deployment of nuclear power for the benefit of society. Among other responsibilities, the agency issues licenses, conducts inspections, initiates and enforces regulations, and plans for incident response. The global gold standard for nuclear regulation, the NRC is collaborating with interagency partners to implement reforms outlined in new Executive Orders and the ADVANCE Act to streamline agency activities and enhance efficiency.
No: 25-058 September 29, 2025 CONTACT: Maureen Conley, 301-415-8200 NRC Renews Point Beach Operating Licenses The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has renewed for a second time the operating licenses of Point Beach, Units 1 and 2, for an additional 20 years.
Point Beachs two pressurized-water reactors are located in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
Their renewed facility operating licenses will now expire in October 2050 for Unit 1 and March 2053 for Unit 2.
The NRCs review of the NextEra Energy subsequent license renewal application requesting authorization to operate from 60 to 80 years proceeded on two parallel tracks. In August 2025, the NRC issued a final supplemental environmental impact statement, and a supplement to its May 2022 safety evaluation. These documents, as well as other information regarding the Point Beach subsequent license renewal application, are available on the NRC website. Additional information about the license renewal process can also be found on the NRCs website.
