II. Discussion
The NRC is issuing for public comment, draft Supplement 63, to the
GEIS for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, regarding the
proposed renewal of Facility Operating License No. NPF-62, for an
additional 20 years of operation for CPS. Draft Supplement 63, 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 CPS are not so great that
preserving the option of license renewal for energy-planning
decisionmakers would be unreasonable.

Support, Office of Nuclear Material Safety, and Safeguards.
