No: 25-032 May 22, 2025 CONTACT: Maureen Conley, 301-415-8200 NRC Makes Available Hatch Nuclear Power Plants Subsequent License Renewal Application The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has received a subsequent license renewal application from Southern Nuclear Operating Co., which requests an additional 20 years of operation for the two reactors at Edwin I. Hatch nuclear power plant in Baxley, Georgia. The application to renew the reactor licenses from 60 to 80 years is now available for public inspection on the NRC website.
Southern Nuclear filed the application on May 15 seeking to renew the licenses for a second time for Hatchs two boiling-water reactors. The NRC approved in January 2002 the first renewal of the reactors licensing term from 40 to 60 years. Unit 1 is currently licensed to operate through Aug. 6, 2034; Unit 2 is licensed through June 13, 2038.
The NRC staff is reviewing the application to determine if it has sufficient information to begin the agencys detailed safety and environmental reviews. If the application is determined to be acceptable for review and docketing, the staff will then publish a notice of opportunity for the public to request a hearing before the NRCs Atomic Safety and Licensing Board.
Information about the license renewal process is available on the NRC website. A copy of the Hatch subsequent license renewal application also will be available at the Appling County Public Library, 242 Parker Avenue in Baxley.
