28 June 2007 -- Southern Nuclear Operating Company announced its plan to ask the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) -- on behalf of the Alvin W. Vogtle Electric Generating Plant co-owners -- to renew the plant's operating license for an additional 20 years.
If the company's application for renewal is approved by the NRC, the operating licenses would be extended to 2047 for Unit 1 and 2049 for Unit 2. The original 40-year licenses for Units 1 and 2 expire in 2027 and 2029, respectively.
A decision on license renewal from the NRC is expected in the 2009 timeframe.
