Regulators closely monitoring Plant Vogtle expansion project
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said its new inspection program for new reactors will guarantee the close monitoring of Southern Co.'s Plant Vogtle expansion project in Georgia. Two NRC inspectors are deployed at the site to study and inspect the construction of the two new reactors, which are scheduled to come online in 2016 and 2017. "It's fairly extensive because you literally have thousands of different things going on," said NRC spokesman Roger Hannah. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
