**Buyer:** NUCLEAR REGLATORY COMMISSION
**Posted:** October 06, 2026
**Respond By:** November 06, 2026
**Identifier:** NRC-2026-4291

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.
