Summary

Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) announces its intent to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with Fermi America's Combined License (COL) application for the proposed construction and operation of four AP1000 advanced passive pressurized-water reactors-- designated as Project Matador Nuclear (PMN) Units 1-4 (PMN Units 1-4). PMN Units 1-4 would be located at the Project Matador Advanced Energy and Intelligence Campus (Project Matador campus). The NRC is initiating a 30-day public scoping period to gather input on the scope of the EIS. The NRC invites public comments to identify potential alternatives, environmental concerns, relevant information and analyses, and specific issues to be addressed in the EIS. The NRC encourages the public to provide feedback related to the scope of the proposed Federal action, whether to issue combined licenses to Fermi America for the construction and operation of four AP1000 reactors, PMN Units 1-4, at the Project Matador campus.
