⚛️NRC Considers Subsequent License Renewal for Southern Nuclear Plant
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) is considering an application for the subsequent renewal of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-57 and NPF-5, which authorize Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. (Southern) to operate Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (Hatch), Unit Nos. 1 and 2. The subsequent renewed licenses would authorize Southern to operate Hatch, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, for an additional 20 years beyond the period specified in each of the current renewed licenses. The current renewed licenses for Hatch expire as follows: Unit No. 1 on August 6, 2034, and Unit No. 2 on June 13, 2038.
