Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear
Plant, Units 1 and 2; Notice of Availability of the Draft Supplement 4
to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement and Public Meeting for
the License Renewal of Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2
Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) has published a draft plant-specific supplement to NUREG-1437,
``Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear
Plants [GEIS],'' regarding the renewal of operating licenses DPR-57 and

additional 20 years. HNP is located in Appling County, Georgia.
Possible alternatives to the proposed action (license renewal) include
no action and reasonable alternative energy sources.
The draft supplement to the GEIS is available electronically
through the NRC's Public Electronic Reading Room (PERR) found on the
Internet at the following web address: http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/ADAMS/index.html. From this site, the public can gain access to the NRC's
Agencywide Document Access and Management Systems (ADAMS), which
provides text and image files of NRC's public documents. The draft
report can also be examined, or copied for a fee, at the NRC's Public
Document Room found at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike
(first floor), Rockville, MD. In addition, the Appling County Library,
located at 242 East Parker Street, Baxley, Georgia, has agreed to make
the draft supplement to the GEIS available for public inspection.
Any interested party may submit comments on the draft supplement to
the GEIS for consideration by the NRC staff. To be certain of
consideration, comments on the draft supplement to the GEIS and the
proposed action must be received by January 24, 2001. Comments received
after the due date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but
the NRC staff is able to assure consideration only for comments
received on or before this date. Written comments on the draft
supplement to the GEIS should be sent to:
