NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-317 and 50-318]


Baltimore Gas and Electric Company; Notice of Availability of the 
Final Supplement 1 to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for 
the License Renewal of Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1 
and 2

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(the Commission) has published a final plant-specific Supplement 1 to 
the Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) (NUREG-1437) 
regarding the renewal of operating licenses DPR-53 and DPR-69 for an 
additional 20 years of operation at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power 
Plant (CCNPP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively. CCNPP is located in 
Calvert County, Maryland. Possible alternatives to the proposed action 
(license renewal) include no action and reasonable alternative energy 
sources.
    In Section 9.3 of the report, the staff concludes: Based on (1) the 
analysis and findings in the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for 
License Renewal of Nuclear Power Plants, NUREG-1437, (2) the ER 
[Environmental Report] submitted by BGE, (3) consultation with other 
Federal, State, and local agencies, (4) its own independent review, and 
(5) its consideration of public comments, the staff recommends that the 
Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of license 
renewal for Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 and Unit 2 are 
not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy 
planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable.
    The final supplement to the GEIS for CCNPP is available for public 
inspection and copying at the Commission's Public Document Room at the 
Gelman Building, 2120 L Street NW., Washington, DC, and the Local 
Public Document Room located in the Calvert County Public Library, 30 
Duke Street, Prince Frederick, MD 20678.
