SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion
Notice is hereby given that the NRC has issued Renewed Facility
Operating License No. NPF-58 to Vistra for Perry, Unit 1. Vistra is the
operator of the facility. Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-58
authorizes Vistra to operate Perry, Unit 1 at reactor core power levels
not in excess of 3,758 megawatts thermal, in accordance with the
provisions of Perry, Unit 1, renewed operating license and technical
specifications. Notice is also given that the ROD that supports the
NRC's decision to issue Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-58
is available in the ``Availability of Documents'' section of this
document.
As discussed in the ROD and the final supplemental environmental
impact statement (EIS), published as NUREG-1437, ``Generic
Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants,
Supplement 61, Regarding License Renewal of Perry Nuclear Power Plant,
Final Report,'' dated April 2025. The final EIS documents the NRC
staff's environmental review, including the determination that the
adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Perry, Unit 1 are
not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy
planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable. The final EIS conclusion
is based on (1) information provided in the environmental report
submitted by Vistra, as supplemented, (2) the NRC staff's consultations
with Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies, (3) the NRC staff's
independent environmental review, and (4) the NRC staff's consideration
of public comments received during the scoping process and on the 2024
draft site-specific EIS, as well as the consideration of mitigation
measures.
Perry, Unit 1 is a Mark 3, boiling water reactor located on the
shore of Lake Erie in Lake County, Ohio, approximately 35 miles
northeast of Cleveland, Ohio. The application for the renewed license,
``Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1, License Renewal Application,'' is
dated July 3, 2023, and has been supplemented (see ``Availability of
Documents'' section, of this document). The NRC staff has detemined
that Vistra's application complies with the standards and requirements
of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the NRC's
regulations. As required by the Act and NRC regulations in chapter 1 of
title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC has made
appropriate findings, which are set forth in the renewed license.
A public notice of the NRC's acceptance for docketing of the
renewed license application and an opportunity for a hearing was
published in the Federal Register on September 29, 2023 (88 FR 67373).

Operations Company, LLC's license renewal application for Perry, Unit
1, dated July 3, 2023, as supplemented by letters dated through January
30, 2025; (2) the NRC's safety evaluation, published in May 2025; (3)
the NRC's final environmental impact statement (NUREG-1437, Supplement
61) for Perry, Unit 1, published in April 2025; and (4) the NRC's ROD,
issued on July 7, 2025.
