SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    When a final environmental impact statement (FEIS) has been 
prepared in connection with the issuance of a construction permit for a 
production or utilization facility, the NRC staff is required to 
prepare a supplement to the FEIS in connection with any issuance of an 
operating license for that facility in accordance with paragraph 51.95 
(b) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations. This supplement 
updates the prior environmental review and only covers matters that 
differ from those or that reflect significant new information relative 
to that discussed in the FEIS. Accordingly, in response to an operating 
license application for the SHINE facility, the NRC staff prepared 
Supplement 1 to NUREG-2183, the FEIS, on the SHINE facility 
construction permit application. The NRC published for public comment a 
draft of Supplement 1 to NUREG-2183 in the Federal Register on July 8, 
2022 (87 FR 40868). The NRC also held a public meeting on July 27, 
2022, to collect comments on the draft of Supplement 1 to NUREG-2183. 
The public comment period ended on August 22, 2022, and the comments 
received are addressed in the final draft of Supplement 1 to NUREG-
2183. Supplement 1 to NUREG-2183 is available as indicated in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document.

II. Discussion

    The NRC issued Supplement 1 to NUREG-2183 on January 31, 2023. 
Supplement 1 to NUREG-2183 updates the prior environmental review by 
the NRC staff for the SHINE facility construction permit application 
and only covers matters that differ from or that reflect significant 
new information concerning matters discussed in NUREG-2183. Supplement 
1 to NUREG-2183 includes the NRC staff's analysis of the environmental 
impacts of the proposed action of deciding whether to issue a license 
to SHINE to operate the SHINE facility for a period of 30 years. After 
weighing the environmental, economic, technical, and other benefits 
against environmental and other costs, the NRC staff recommends, unless 
safety issues mandate otherwise, the issuance of an operating license 
to SHINE for the SHINE facility. This recommendation is based on: (1) 
the operating license application, including SHINE's supplemental 
environmental report; (2) consultation with Federal, State, Tribal, and 
local agencies; (3) the staff's independent review; and (4) the 
consideration of public comments.

    Dated: February 1, 2023.
