Duke Energy submits an ESP application to the NRC
Following up on an October announcement on plans to invest more heavily in nuclear power, Duke Energy closed out 2025 by submitting an early site permit application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This ESP application is for a site near the Belews Creek Steam Station, a coal and natural gas plant in Stokes County, N.C., where Duke has been pursuing a new nuclear project for two years.

A method of studying neutron transport properties in H2O-D2O mixtures, both liquid and solid, which extrapolates the neutron thermalization parameters of H2O is described. The decay of pulsed neutrons in the media has been investigated as an example of the application of the method. The results of the calculations agree with the experiment for concentrations up to 50% D2O.
