UPDATE 2/9: whats up: NRC Approves Southern’s Nuclear-Plant Construction Permit, First Since ’78
go to > whats up: #OCCUPY #NUCLEAR
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has scheduled a vote for Feb. 9 on Southern Co.’s application for the first construction permit to build nuclear reactors in more than 30 years. The two Westinghouse nukes are already under construction at Plant Vogtle in Georgia.
notes from NRC 2/6/12:
Note this meeting is not to make a final decision on the Combined Operating License for the Vogtle units, but to affirm the decision of the earlier mandatory hearing that there are no environmental or safety reasons not to approve the COL.
However: I would also note that once the Commission affirms the hearing findings, the staff is authorized to issue the COL. We are not certain at this point how long that will take.
Your tax dollars at work - The U.S. Energy Department in February 2010 conditionally approved an $8.3 billion loan guarantee to help the company build the two reactors.

Vogtle Electric Generating Plant
View Larger Map
The Alvin W. Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, also known as Plant Vogtle, is a 2-unit nuclear power plant located in Burke County, near Waynesboro, Georgia.
Each unit has a Westinghouse pressurized water reactor (PWR), with a General Electric turbine and electric generator. Units 1 and 2 were completed in 1987 and 1989, respectively.
During Vogtle's construction, costs skyrocketed from an estimated $660 million to $8.87 billion. This was typical of the time due to increased regulations after the Three Mile Island accident.
In 2009, the NRC renewed the licenses for both units for an additional 20 years, to the 2040s.
Groundwork for two new Westinghouse AP1000 reactors is underway.
