II. Discussion
Exelon is the holder of Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-
50 for TMI-1. The license provides, among other things, that the
facility is subject to all rules, regulations, and orders of the NRC
now or hereafter in effect. The facility consists of one pressurized-
water reactor located in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. By letter dated
June 20, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17171A151), the licensee submitted
Certification of Permanent Cessation of Power Operations for TMI-1. In
this letter, Exelon notified the NRC of its intent to permanently cease
operations at TMI-1 no later than September 30, 2019.
On April 5, 2019, Exelon submitted the PSDAR for TMI-1, in
accordance with Sec. 50.82(a)(4)(i) of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (ADAMS Accession No. ML19095A041). The PSDAR includes a
description of the planned decommissioning activities, a proposed
schedule for their accomplishment, the expected decommissioning and
spent fuel management costs, and a discussion that provides the basis
for concluding that the environmental impacts associated with the site-
specific decommissioning activities will be bounded by appropriate,
previously issued generic and plant-specific environmental impact
statements. In separate letters, Exelon submitted its Site Specific
Decommissioning Cost Estimate and Spent Fuel Management Plan for TMI-1
on April 5, 2019 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML19095A010 and ML19095A009,
respectively).
