NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[NRC-2009-0267; Docket No. 50-289]


Exelon Generation Company, LLC; Three Mile Island Nuclear 
Station, Unit 1; Notice of Availability of the Final Supplement 37 to 
the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of 
Nuclear Plants, Regarding the License Renewal of Three Mile Island 
Nuclear Station, Unit 1

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC or Commission) has published a final plant-specific supplement to 
the ``Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of 
Nuclear Plants'' (GEIS), NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal of operating 
license DPR-50 for an additional 20 years of operation for Three Mile 
Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (TMI-1). TMI-1 is located in Londonderry 
Township in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, on the northern end of Three 
Mile Island near the eastern shore of the Susquehanna River. Possible 
alternatives to the proposed action (license renewal) include no action 
and reasonable alternative energy sources.
    As discussed in Section 9.4 of the final Supplement 37, based on: 
(1) The analysis and findings in the GEIS; (2) the Environmental Report 
submitted by Exelon Generation Company, LLC; (3) consultation with 
Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) the NRC staff's own independent 
review; and (5) the NRC staff's consideration of public comments, the 
NRC determined that the adverse environmental impacts of license 
renewal for TMI-1 are not so great that preserving the option of 
license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would be 
unreasonable.
    The final Supplement 37 to the GEIS is publicly available at the 
NRC Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, 11555 
Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852, or from the NRC's Agencywide 
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). The ADAMS Public 
Electronic Reading Room is accessible at http://adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.htm. The accession number for the final Supplement 37 to the 
GEIS is ML091751063. Persons who do not have access to ADAMS, or who 
encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, should 
contact the NRC's PDR reference staff by telephone at 1-800-397-4209, 
or 301-415-4737, or by e-mail at [email protected]. In addition, the 
following three locations have agreed to make the final supplement to 
the GEIS available for public inspection: Londonderry Township 
Municipal Building, 783 South Geyers Church Road, Middletown, PA 17057; 
Middletown Public Library, 20 North Catherine Street, Middletown, PA 
17057; and Penn State Harrisburg Library, 351 Olmsted Drive, 
Middletown, PA 17057.
