What the evidence supports

That U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Federal Register, via govinfo.gov), the regulator, published the quoted statement. It records "permission issued" for Environmental review step only: exemptions from the environmental impact statement requirement, with an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact (not the construction permit) under permissions only.

What remains unknown

One permission is not every permission the project needs. Any permission beyond the action quoted. A construction authorisation is not an operating licence, and one authority's action is not another's.
