-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for
public comment draft plant-specific Supplement 5, Second Renewal, to

of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, regarding the subsequent renewal of
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-31 and DPR-41 for an additional 20
years of operation for Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 3 and
4 (Turkey Point). The Turkey Point facility is

II. Discussion
The NRC is issuing for public comment draft plant-specific
Supplement 5, Second Renewal, to the GEIS for License Renewal of
Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, regarding the subsequent renewal of
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-31 and DPR-41 for an additional 20
years of operation for Turkey Point Unit Nos. 3 and 4. Draft plant-
specific Supplement 5, Second Renewal, 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
subsequent license renewal for Turkey Point are not so great that
preserving the option of subsequent license renewal for energy-planning
decisionmakers would be unreasonable.
III. Public Meetings
The NRC staff will hold two public meetings prior to the close of
the public comment period to present an overview of the draft plant-
specific supplement to the GEIS and to accept public comment on the
document. The meetings will be held on May 1, 2019, from 1:00 p.m. to
3:00 p.m. and from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the City of Homestead City
Hall, 100 Civic Court, Homestead, FL 33030. There will be an open house
one hour before each meeting for members of the public to meet with NRC
staff members and sign in to speak. The meetings will be transcribed
and will include: (1) A presentation of the contents of the draft
plant-specific supplement to the GEIS and (2) the opportunity for
interested government agencies, organizations, and individuals to
provide comments on the draft plant-specific supplement to the GEIS. To
be considered in the final supplement to the GEIS, comments must be
provided either at the transcribed public meetings or submitted in
writing by the comment deadline identified above. Persons may pre-
register to attend or present oral comments at the meetings by
contacting Mr. William Burton, the NRC Project Manager, at 301-415-
6332, or by email at [email protected] no later than Tuesday,
April 23, 2019. Members of the public may also register to provide oral
comments within 15 minutes before the start of the meetings. Individual
oral comments may be limited by the time available, depending on the
number of persons who register. If special equipment or accommodations
are needed to attend or present information at the public meeting, the
need should be brought to Mr. Burton's attention no later than Tuesday,
April 23, 2019, to provide the NRC staff adequate notice to determine
whether the request can be accommodated.
