Hatch SLR approved by NRC in under 12 months
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has renewed the operating licenses of Hatch-1 and-2 in under 12 months, the agency announced Friday.
Southern Nuclear’s application was accepted by the NRC in June 2025. The Baxley, Ga., facility’s two boiling water reactors are the second and third units to receive subsequent license renewals under the NRC’s new, streamlined process for renewing operating licenses in 12 months or less. Previously completed SLR proceedings took, on average, about two-and-a-half years.
