NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. 52–011]

Southern Nuclear Operating Company;
Notice of Hearing and Opportunity to
Petition for Leave to Intervene on An
Early Site Permit for the Vogtle ESP
Site
Pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of
1954, as amended (the Act), and the
regulations in Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 50, Domestic
Licensing of Production and Utilization
Facilities, Part 52, Early Site Permits,
Standard Design Certifications, and
Combined Licenses for Nuclear Power
Plants, and Part 2, Rules of Practice for
Domestic Licensing Proceedings and
Issuance of Orders, notice is hereby
given that a hearing will be held, at a
time and place to be set in the future by
the United States Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC, the Commission) or
designated Atomic Safety and Licensing
Board (Board). The hearing will
consider the application dated August
14, 2006, filed by Southern Nuclear
Operating Company (SNC), pursuant to
Subpart A of 10 CFR part 52 for an early
site permit (ESP). The application
which was supplemented by letters
dated August 17, September 6 (two
letters), and September 13, 2006
requests approval of a site located in
eastern Georgia (near Waynesboro,
Georgia) identified as the Vogtle ESP
site, for one or more new nuclear
reactors that would, if authorized for
construction and operation in a separate
licensing proceeding under subpart C of
10 CFR part 52 or under 10 CFR part 50,
have a capacity of no more than 6800
Megawatts (thermal) additional for the
site. The application was accepted for
docketing on September 19, 2006. The
docket number established for this
application is 52–011.
The hearing will be conducted by a
Board which will be designated by the
Chairman of the Atomic Safety and
Licensing Board Panel or by the
Commission. Notice as to the
membership of the Board will be
published in the Federal Register at a
later date.
The NRC staff will complete a
detailed technical review of the
application and will document its
findings in a safety evaluation report
(SER) and an environmental impact
statement (EIS). In addition, the
Commission will refer a copy of the
application to the Advisory Committee
on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) in
accordance with 10 CFR 52.23, and the
ACRS will report on those portions of
the application that concern safety.

Upon receipt of the ACRS report and
completion of the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) staff’s SER and EIS,
the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor
Regulation, NRC, will propose findings
on the following issues:
Issues Pursuant to the Atomic Energy
Act of 1954, as Amended
(1) Whether the issuance of an ESP
will be inimical to the common defense
and security or to the health and safety
of the public (Safety Issue 1); and (2)
whether, taking into consideration the
site criteria contained in 10 CFR part
100, a reactor, or reactors, having
characteristics that fall within the
parameters for the site, can be
constructed and operated without
undue risk to the health and safety of
the public (Safety Issue 2).
Issue Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as Amended
Whether, in accordance with the
requirements of subpart A of 10 CFR
part 51, the ESP should be issued as
proposed.
The Board will conduct the hearing in
accordance with 10 CFR part 2. If the
hearing is contested as defined by 10
CFR 2.4, the Board will consider Safety
Issues 1 and 2 and the issue pursuant to
NEPA set forth above.
If the hearing is not a contested
proceeding as defined in 10 CFR 2.4, the
Board will determine without
conducting a de novo review: Whether
the application and the record of the
proceeding contain sufficient
information, and the review of the
application by the Commission’s staff
has been adequate to support a negative
finding on Safety Issue 1 above, and an
affirmative finding on Safety Issue 2
above, as proposed to be made by the
Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor
Regulation; and whether the review
conducted by the Commission pursuant
to NEPA has been adequate.
Regardless of whether the proceeding
is contested or uncontested, the Board
will: (1) Determine whether the
requirements of Section 102(2)(A), (C),
and (E) of NEPA and subpart A of 10
CFR part 51 have been complied with in
the proceeding; (2) independently
consider the final balance among the
conflicting factors contained in the
record of the proceeding with a view to
determining the appropriate action to be
taken; and (3) determine, after
considering reasonable alternatives,
whether the ESP should be issued,
denied, or appropriately conditioned to
protect environmental values.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309, any
person whose interest may be affected
