NRC approves first new nuclear plant in 3 decades

 

 

 

On Thursday, February 9, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission voted 4-1 to approve Southern Co.’s request to build two nuclear reactors at its Vogtle site south of Augusta, Georgia. The vote clears the way for federal officials to issue an operating license for the reactors, which could begin operating as soon as 2016 and 2017. The NRC last approved construction of a nuclear plant in 1978. President Obama has offered the Vogtle project $8.3 Billion in federal loan guarantees as part of its pledge to expand nuclear power.
