The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved the transfer of the licenses for four
operating reactors and their associated spent fuel storage facilities from Energy Harbor Nuclear
Corp. to Vistra Operations Company LLC. The transfer is part of VistraOps’ acquisition of
Energy Harbor’s nuclear assets.
The transfer covers the following operating reactors:
• Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (Shippingport, Pennsylvania)
• Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station (Oak Harbor, Ohio)
• Perry Nuclear Power Plant (Perry, Ohio)
VistraOps currently operates the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant and its spent fuel
storage facilities, which are located in Glen Rose, Texas.
The NRC staff’s review of the license transfer application concluded that VistraOps is
financially and technically qualified to conduct the activities authorized by the licenses. The
NRC staff also concluded that VistraOps satisfies the NRC’s decommissioning funding
assurance requirements, and that the facilities are not owned, controlled, or dominated by a
foreign entity.
