NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251]


Florida Power and Light Company Turkey Point Plant, Units 3 and 4 
Notice of Availability of the Final Supplement 5 to the Generic 
Environmental Impact Statement Regarding License Renewal for the Turkey 
Point Plant, Units 3 and 4

    Notice is hereby given that the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC) has published a final plant-specific Supplement 5 to the Generic 
Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS), NUREG-1437, regarding the 
renewal of operating licenses DPR-31 and DPR-41 for the Turkey Point 
Plant, Units 3 and 4, for an additional 20 years of operation. The 
Turkey Point Plant units are operated by Florida Power and Light 
Company (FPL). Turkey Point Plant is located in Dade County, Florida. 
Possible alternatives to the proposed action (license renewal) include 
no action and reasonable alternative methods of power generation.
    In Section 9.3 of the report:

    The staff recommends that the Commission determine that the 
adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Turkey Point 
Units 3 and 4 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 ER [Environmental Report] 
submitted by FPL; (3) consultation with other Federal, State, and 
local agencies; (4) the staff's own independent review; and

[[Page 5013]]

(5) the staff's consideration of public comments.

    The final Supplement 5 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 management system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC 
Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/ (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
