comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for 
public comment draft plant-specific Supplement 6, 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-32 and DPR-37 for an additional 20 
years of operation for Surry Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Surry). 
The Surry facility is located in Surry County, Virginia. Possible 
alternatives to the proposed action (subsequent license renewal)

Statement in November, including a presentation on the preliminary 
findings and a transcribed public comment session. The webinar details

II. Discussion

    The NRC is issuing for public comment draft plant-specific 
Supplement 6, Second Renewal, to the GEIS for License Renewal of 
Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, regarding the subsequent renewal of 
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-32 and DPR-37 for an additional 20 
years of operation for Surry, Unit Nos. 1 and 2. Draft plant-specific 
Supplement 6, 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 Surry are not so great that preserving the option 
of subsequent license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would 
be unreasonable.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 17th day of October 2019.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Director, Division of Rulemaking, Environmental, and Financial Support,
