Two proposed nuclear plants in Georgia cleared a step in the lengthy process of gaining regulatory approval late last week when the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission said it had completed a safety review.

The NRC concluded a staff safety review of Westinghouse's AP1000 reactor design and Georgia Power's application to build and operate two of the reactors, officials said Monday. But approval by the five-member commission is still needed before the units can be built.
