TMI wants to draw more water from Susquehanna River for its restart

The operators of the nuclear power plant formerly known as Three Mile Island’s unit 1 have asked the Susquehanna River Basin Commission to increase the amount of water the facility can draw from the river, according to the commission.

The plant, owned by Constellation Energy and rechristened as the Christopher M. Crane Clean Energy Center, currently is permitted to draw a maximum of 44 million gallons of water a day from the river, down significantly from when the plant was operating.
