II. Discussion

    The NRC is issuing for public comment draft Supplement 60, License 
Renewal, to the GEIS for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, 
regarding the renewal of Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-87 and 
NPF-89 for an additional 20 years of operation for CPNPP. Draft 
Supplement 60, License 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 staff's 
preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of 
license renewal for CPNPP are not so great that preserving the option 
of license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would be 
unreasonable.
