From the Duke Energy press release:
--- Quote ---The company intends to use the SAFSTOR option for decommissioning. Generally, this involves placing the facility into a safe storage configuration, requiring limited staffing to monitor plant conditions, until the eventual dismantling and decontamination activities occur, usually in 40 to 60 years.

Maybe a lot of work for years, but not starting for many years. I don't know about you, but I hope to be retired before '40 to 60 years' comes around.

Many options, all pretty much negotiable with NRC. Critical part short term I would think, would be fuel storage. CR3 doesn't have dry fuel storage at this point (I think...), and it will have to empty the vessel, but could store in the SFP indefinitely.
I got my Open Water cert there, had 2 great outages there in the early 90s, my folks retired near there (Homosassa). It's a nice area, and the folks there are nice. I hope that enough work remains to keep them working.

My wife got her PADI card there in 1981 when we were working an outage. Did my first night dive and first cave dive in King's Bay. Loved the area and the people were great... one of my favorite outages (got some good stories from there.)
I wish everyone there the best. Sad time.

Is Mojica still selling tacos down there? Might put him out of business.
