On Nov. 9, 2011, SEIA submitted comments to the National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA) regarding plans for future solar installations on its property in Nevada. While all three of the alternatives NNSA and DOE analyzed in the Draft EIS include solar energy development, SEIA argued that NNSA and DOE should select the Expanded Operations Alternative because it maximizes the solar energy resources available onsite. Additionally, NNSA would 1) support development of several commercial solar power facilities with a maximum combined generating capacity of 1,000 MW; and 2) construct a 5-MW PV solar power facility at the main security building.
