-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for
public comment draft plant-specific Supplement 10, Second Renewal, to
the Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) for License Renewal
of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, regarding the subsequent renewal of
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-44 and DPR-56 for an additional 20
years of operation for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3
(Peach Bottom). The Peach Bottom facility is located in York County,
Pennsylvania. Possible alternatives to the proposed action (subsequent
license renewal) include no action and reasonable replacement power
alternatives. The NRC staff will hold a public meeting to present an
overview of the draft plant-specific supplement to the GEIS and to
accept public comment on the document.
DATES: The public meeting will be held on September 12, 2019, from 6:00

2019. Comments received after this date will be considered, if it is
practical to do so, but the NRC is able to ensure consideration only
for comments received on or before this date.

II. Discussion
The NRC is issuing for public comment draft plant-specific
Supplement 10, Second Renewal, to the GEIS for License Renewal of
Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, regarding the subsequent renewal of
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-44 and DPR-56 for an additional 20
years of operation for Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3. Draft plant-specific
Supplement 10, 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 Peach Bottom are not so great that preserving the
option of subsequent license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers
would be unreasonable.
III. Public Meeting
The NRC staff will hold a public meeting 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 meeting will be held on September 12, 2019, from 6:00
p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Peach Bottom Inn, 6085 Delta Road, Delta, PA
17314. There will be an open house one hour before the meeting for
members of the public to meet with NRC staff members and sign in to
speak. The meeting 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 meeting or submitted in writing by the comment
deadline identified above. Persons may pre-register to attend or
present oral comments at the meeting by contacting Mr. David Drucker,
the NRC Project Manager, at 301-415-6223, or by email at
[email protected] no later than Thursday, August 29, 2019. Members
of the public may also register to provide oral comments within 15
minutes before the start of the meeting. 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. Drucker's attention no later than Thursday, August 29,
2019, to provide the NRC staff adequate notice to determine whether the
request can be accommodated.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 1st day of August, 2019.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

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