Cross-reference of every Texas nuclear project against every permit it requires from every agency. Filled circles indicate completed or operational permits; open circles indicate filed but pending. Empty cells indicate the permit has not yet been filed. This view answers: which projects have which permits, and which agencies are the binding constraint?

A nuclear project cannot operate until every required permit is in hand. In practice, only a handful determine whether a project is on schedule: on the federal side, NRC licensing dominates the critical path; on the state side, water rights, TPDES wastewater discharge, and ERCOT interconnection are the most likely to push a project's commercial-operations date.
The matrix is built to make that pattern visible. Reading down a column shows whether one agency is holding up multiple projects at once — a process-level bottleneck that calls for a different response than a one-off application stuck on a single project's desk.
