NRC ANNOUNCES THE AVAILABILITY OF LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION
FOR SUMMER NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
Printable Version

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is announcing the availability of an application for a 20-year renewal of the operating license of the Virgil C. Summer nuclear power plant. South Carolina Electric & Gas Co. submitted the application on August 6.

The plant is located in Fairfield County, South Carolina. The current operating license for the facility expires on August 6, 2022.

A copy of the application will be available at: http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/applications.html on the NRC web site.

The application also is available through the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). Help in using ADAMS is available by contacting the NRC Public Document Room staff at 301/415-4737 or 1/800/397-4209, or by sending a message to pdr.resource@nrc.gov via e-mail.

In addition, a copy of the license renewal application is available at the Fairfield County Library, in Winnsboro, S.C., and at the Thomas Cooper Library at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, S.C.

The NRC staff is currently conducting an initial review of the application to determine whether it contains enough information for the required formal review. If the application has sufficient information, the NRC will formally "docket," or file, the application and will announce an opportunity to request a hearing.
