Department Overview

DCPP developed and submitted a license renewal application (LRA) in the shortest time ever in response to California’s need for greenhouse gas free energy as part of Senate Bill 846 being signed into law in September of 2022.  This accelerated schedule required DCPP to implement aging management programs while developing the LRA concurrently.  The LRA was submitted in November 2023 and is undergoing a detailed review by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).  The License Renewal Project is responsible for defining all the required programs and inspections for license renewal and coordinating all of those inspections (over 750 prior to August 26, 2025).  The project team also coordinates and interfaces with the NRC during their review.
