The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has received an application, dated January 7, 2013, from Tennessee Valley Authority, filed pursuant to Section 103 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and part 54 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), to renew the operating licenses for the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN), Units 1 and 2. Renewal of the licenses would authorize the applicant to operate each facility for an additional 20-year period beyond the period specified in the respective current operating licenses.

Both units are pressurized-water reactors designed by Westinghouse, and are located in Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee. The acceptability of the tendered application for docketing, and other matters, including an opportunity to request a hearing, will be the subject of subsequent Federal Register notices.
