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.

    Dated: October 28, 2024.

Financial Support, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
