Nuclear Energy

For more than 50 years, Day Pitney attorneys have been at the leading edge of issues related to the nuclear energy industry, through both prosperity and difficulty. We have guided utilities in major transactions and strategic planning and in complex state and federal litigation and in rate matters before federal and state agencies. Our work has encompassed plant selection, siting, procurement, structuring of ownership and operating entities, licensing and construction issues, federal regulation, operational issues, prudence and other investigations, decommissioning, Price-Anderson Act issues, federal preemption, and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and industry assessment of performance and litigation. Our experience spans the life cycle of nuclear power, from site selection and development through decommissioning.

We have worked on numerous nuclear projects, including Bruce, Callaway, Comanche Peak, Connecticut Yankee, Davis Besse, Diablo Canyon, Hanford, Maine Yankee, Millstone, Montague, Seabrook, South Texas Project, Summer, Vermont Yankee, Wolf Creek and Yankee Rowe.
