Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc.; Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2; Exemption
§ 01 Summary
The NRC issued Southern Nuclear Operating Company an exemption for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 from the requirement that its subsequent license renewal application be referred to the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards for review and report. As a result, the ACRS referral, review, report, and public-record inclusion process will not apply to that application.
§ 02 Why this matters
The exemption removes a specific procedural requirement under NRC rules for ACRS referral, review, and reporting on Southern Nuclear's subsequent license renewal application. It affects one licensee and plant rather than changing generally applicable nuclear licensing obligations.

- agency: Nuclear Regulatory Commission
- company: Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc.
