Duke pulls plans for two new reactors at Shearon Harris site

The nuclear retreat continues apace. Duke Energy has suspended an application for two new reactor units at its Shearon Harris site in North Carolina. The company said it saw no resource need for two new reactors based on the likely electricity needs of its customers for at least the next 15 years.  Although Duke continues to pursue plans for new reactors at Levy, FL and Gaffney, SC it has no firm commitment to either plant.
