II. Discussion
The NRC is issuing for public comment a draft plant-specific
Supplement 58 to the GEIS for license renewal of nuclear plants, NUREG-
1437, regarding the renewal of operating license NPF-47 for an
additional 20 years of operation for RBS. Supplement 58 to the GEIS
includes the preliminary analysis that evaluates the environmental
impacts of the proposed action and alternatives to the proposed action.
The NRC's preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental
impacts of license renewal for RBS are not so great that preserving the
option of license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would be
unreasonable.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 1st day of June 2018.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Acting Chief, License Renewal Projects Branch, Division of Materials
and License Renewal, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
