The relicensing of the Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant located near Two Rivers, Wisconsin has been paused due to a lawsuit initiated by several non-profit organizations. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) ordered the memorandum on subsequent license renewals for nuclear reactors in the United States.
The NRC determined that before a subsequent license extension could be granted an updated environmental statement needed to be completed under NEPA. The revised Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) was released on April 15, 2025.
