Odd Lots · Jigar Shah on the Three Big Things Driving the Nuclear Energy Revival · 30 Sep 2024 podcast

And so the big fight there is that so in Texas, what they do is they just look at the safety part of it, but they don't look at the capacity part of it.

They just say, you like connect at your own.

risk and if we're clogged, we're just gonna tell you to shut down.

And

That's on you.

Right.

So that's why they're approving people super fast.

Whereas with the PJM and others, they're saying not only are we going to do a safety study, we're also going to do a capacity study and we're not going to let you connect until this other generator shuts down and frees up capacity for your generator.

And so that then makes the wait time much longer.

Oh.

Yeah.

So I mean there's definitely been a lot of people giving their unsolicited advice to the NRC saying we want to beat you up because we don't think you're moving fast enough.

But when you think about it, it's only the Vogel units three and four that they've had to process, right?

And ultimately what the people who built Vogel did was said

We are going to tell you exactly how we're going to build it.

And then you hold us accountable to building it the that exact way.

And then you license it at the end.

Right.

And so that's what the NRC did.

The alternative pathway is they can go in and say, we're just going to build this thing.
