Environmental Impact Statements

NUREG-1437, "Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants Regarding Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2 (NUREG-1437, Supplement 34) Draft Report for Comment," was published in April 2008. This supplement documents the NRC staff's review of the environmental issues at Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2 regarding the Southern Nuclear Operating Comapny application for license renewal of that facility. The supplement was prepared in accordance with 10 CFR 51.71. This supplemental environmental impact statement includes the Staff's analysis that considers and weighs the environmental effects of the proposed action (license renewal), the environmental impacts of alternatives to the proposed action, and potential mitigative measures for reducing or avoiding adverse impacts. It also includes the Staff's recommendation regarding the proposed action.
