Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For any major federal action, including building a nuclear power plant, an environmental impact statement (EIS) is required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1970. The purpose of the EIS is to analyze the potential environmental impact of the proposed action and to inform decision-makers and the public about the potential consequences. Therefore, Midwest Power Corporation must prepare an EIS for their proposed nuclear power plant.
