Combined License Applications and Subsequent Documentation

A combined license (COL), when issued, is authorization from the NRC to construct and, with conditions, operate a nuclear power plant at a specific site and in accordance with laws and regulations. Prior to issuing a COL, the NRC staff will complete safety and environmental reviews of the combined license applications in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act, NRC regulations, and the National Environmental Policy Act. All stakeholders, most importantly the public, will be given notice as to how and when they may participate in the regulatory process including opportunities to request a hearing on issuance of the license.
