GGNS is located approximately 20 miles southwest of Vicksburg, MS. The NRC issued the GGNS construction permit on September 4, 1974, and operating license on November 1, 1984. GGNS is of a boiling water reactor design. General Electric supplied the nuclear steam supply system and Allis-Chalmers Power Systems furnished the turbine generator set. The containment is a steel-lined reinforced concrete structure designed by Bechtel Power Corporation. The GGNS licensed power output is 4,408 megawatt thermal. Unless otherwise indicated, this SER presents the status of the staff's review of information submitted through October 3, 2016, the cutoff date for consideration in the SER. The four open items previously identified in the SER with Open Items, issued January 31, 2013, have been closed (see Section 1.5); therefore, no open items remain to be resolved before the final determination is reached by the staff on the LRA.
