NRC Review of Operating-License Amendments for Cooper and Vogtle Nuclear Plants

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is reviewing proposed operating-license amendments for Cooper Nuclear Station and Vogtle Electric Generating Plant. - Government buyer: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). - Facilities and associated organizations: Nebraska Public Power District is identified with Cooper Nuclear Station; Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. is identified with Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2. - Regulatory matter: The NRC is considering two amendment requests affecting three facility operating licenses and proposes to determine that the requests involve no significant hazards consideration. - Notable information and participation: The requests contain sensitive unclassified non-safeguards information (SUNSI). The notice describes how eligible participants may seek access to that information to prepare contentions for a hearing or intervention proceeding. - Procurement scope: No products or services, quantities, part numbers, OEMs, or supplying vendors are identified; this is a regulatory notice, not a procurement opportunity.

Description

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission received and is considering two requests to amend three licenses covering Cooper Nuclear Station and Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2. The NRC proposes to determine that each request involves no significant hazards consideration. Because the requests contain sensitive unclassified non-safeguards information, the notice establishes procedures for access to that information for contention preparation by persons filing a hearing request or petition to intervene. Comments are due November 5, 2026; requests for SUNSI access are due October 16, 2026, and hearing requests or petitions to intervene are due December 7, 2026.
