The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has issued its final environmental impact statement (EIS) on the proposed Early Site Permit (ESP) for the Vogtle site, about 26 miles southeast of Augusta, Ga. The report contains the NRC's finding that there are no environmental impacts that would prevent issuing the ESP.
The report, NUREG-1872, "Final Environmental Impact Statement for an Early Site Permit at the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Site," is available on the NRC Web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr1872/index.html. The staff bases its conclusion on its thorough, independent review of an environmental report from the applicant, Southern Nuclear Operating Co. The EIS takes into account consultations with federal, state, tribal and local agencies and consideration of comments received during the public scoping process.
