U.S. to Approve New Nuke Plants

More than 30 years after the Three Mile Island accident, The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is set to approve two new nuclear reactors. The two plants will be built in Georgia, about 170 miles east of Atlanta, where two older reactors are already running. The last new reactor started operating in 1996, but the NRC hasn't issued a license to build a new one since 1978, a year before the accident at Three Mile Island.
