An independent nuclear experts has recommended that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approve Three Mile Island's bid to run for an additional 20 years.
Since no one has contested TMI's application for license renewal, the NRC will not hold a hearing and instead expects to issue a decision by early November.
The sole concern that the independent board had with the application had to do with a corroding metal liner that prevents vapor from leaving the containment building.
TMI has since replaced the barrier and launched a program to monitor the rate of corrosion.
