II. Discussion
The NRC is issuing for public comment draft Supplement 62 to the
GEIS for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, regarding the
proposed renewal of Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-80 and DPR-82
for an additional 20 years for Diablo Canyon. Draft Supplement 62 to
the GEIS includes the NRC staff's evaluation of 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 Diablo Canyon are not so
great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy-planning
decisionmakers would be unreasonable.
