NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-313]


Entergy Operations, Inc., Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1, Notice of 
Availability of the Final Supplement 3 to the Generic Environmental 
Impact Statement Regarding the License Renewal of Arkansas Nuclear One, 
Unit 1

    Notice is hereby given that the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(the Commission) has published a final plant-specific Supplement 3 to 
the Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS), NUREG-1437, 
regarding the renewal of operating license DPR-51 for an additional 20 
years of operation at Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (ANO-1). ANO-1 is 
located in Pope County, Arkansas. 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:

    The staff recommends that the Commission determine that the 
adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for ANO-1 are not 
so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy 
planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable. This recommendation 
is based on (1) the analysis and findings in the Generic 
Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Power 
Plants, NUREG-1437; (2) the Entergy ER [Environmental Report]; (3) 
consultation with other Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) the 
staff's own independent review; and (5) the staff's consideration of 
public comments.

    The final Supplement 3 to the GEIS is available electronically for 
public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room located at One White 
Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland, 
or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's 
document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at 
http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/ADAMS/index.html (the Public Electronic Reading 
Room).
