Unit 2 from October 1, 2014, to October 1, 2017. Later, in a letter dated March 31, 2017, TVA stated that it had sold the Bellefonte property at auction and proposed that the NRC leave the extension request for BLN Unit 2 as an open item until the NRC is able to obtain construction completion information based on the purchasers plans.

TVA stated that an extension for BLN Unit 1 is needed to allow the parties additional time to obtain a decision in the lawsuit.
