Announced in the October 9 Federal Register, the review covers four proposed AP1000 reactor units. The draft environmental recommendation is part of a combined-license process and remains contingent on completion of the safety review. Comments are due November 23, 2026. The notice does not grant a construction or operating license and states no generation capacity. ## Data ### Regulatory notice The dated agency action appears in the cited primary notice.
