Publication InformationManuscript Completed: April 2008 Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation AbstractThe U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) considered the environmental impacts of renewing nuclear power plant operating licenses (OLs) for a 20-year period in its Generic
Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (GEIS), NUREG-1437,
Volumes 1 and 2, and codified the results in Title 10, Part 51, of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR Part 51). In the GEIS (and its Addendum 1), the NRC staff identifies
92 environmental issues and reaches generic conclusions related to environmental impacts for
69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics.
Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues. These plant-specific
reviews are to be included in a supplement to the GEIS. The NRC staff's preliminary recommendation is that the Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for SSES are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy-planning decision makers would be unreasonable. This recommendation is based on (1) the analysis and findings in the GEIS; (2) the Environmental Report submitted by PPL; (3) consultation with Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) the NRC staff's own independent review; and (5) the NRC staff's consideration of public comments received during the scoping process.
