NRC OKs new plant design
ATLANTA — The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has given a Georgia utility permission to change the design of a nuclear power plant under construction, resolving a conflict over the installation of metal bars.
Southern Co. spokesman Mark Williams said Tuesday that regulators will allow the company to pour sturdier concrete over the bars, bringing the design into compliance with federal rules. Williams said he didn’t know how much the change would cost.
Federal inspectors earlier faulted the company for allowing the installation of those bars in what will become the plant’s foundation in ways different than in design documents. Officials said the error had “very low safety significance.”
Beltline CFO steps down
ATLANTA — The chief financial officer for Atlanta’s Beltline redevelopment project has stepped down.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Richard Lutch announced his resignation in a letter Friday. Beltline spokesman Ethan Davidson said it was a “personnel matter” and declined to comment.
Lutch was criticized after the Journal-Constitution reported taxpayer money paid for staff retreats, stays at pricey hotels and meals at fancy Atlanta restaurants for employees of the Beltline project.
The board overseeing the project voted in August to oust Lutch’s former boss Brian Leary after the newspaper revealed he charged taxpayers for a wedding gift, dry cleaning bill, parking ticket and other items that frustrated City Hall and upset watchdog groups.
