NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50-277 and 50-278]
Exelon Generating Company, LLC; Peach Bottom Atomic Power
Station, Units 2 and 3; Notice of Availability of the Final Supplement
10 to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement Regarding License
Renewal for the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3
Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) has published a final plant-specific Supplement 10 to the Generic
Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS), NUREG-1437, regarding the
renewal of operating licenses DPR-44 and DPR-56 for the Peach Bottom
Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, for an additional 20 years of
operation. The Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station units are operated by
Exelon Generating Company, LLC and PSEG Nuclear, LLC (Exelon). Peach
Bottom Atomic Power Station is located primarily in Peach Bottom
Township, York County, Pennsylvania. Possible alternatives to the
proposed action (license renewal) include no action and reasonable
alternative methods of power generation.
It is stated in section 9.3 of the report:
Based on (1) the analysis and findings in the Generic
Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear
Plants, NUREG-1437; (2) the Environmental Report submitted by
Exelon; (3) consultation with Federal, State, and local agencies;
(4) the staff's own independent review; and (5) the staff's
consideration of public comments, the staff recommends that the
Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of
license renewal for Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3 are not so great that
preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning
decision makers would be unreasonable.
The final Supplement 10 to the GEIS is available electronically for
public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) located at One
White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville,
Maryland, or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of
NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS
is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov (the Public
Electronic Reading Room). Persons who do not have access to ADAMS or
who encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS,
should contact the PDR reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, 301-415-4737,
or by e-mail to [email protected].
