ATLANTA — A power company in Georgia appears a step closer to getting government-backed loans for a new nuclear power plant. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission recently let the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia change its ownership structure for its 23 percent stake in two nuclear reactors under construction at Plant Vogtle, near Waynesboro. Like the other owners, MEAG is seeking federally subsidized loans to cover its share of the more than $14 billion construction project.
