Abstract

This draft supplemental environmental impact statement (EIS) has been prepared in response to an application submitted by AmerGen Energy Company, LLC to renew the operating license for Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 for an additional 20 years.

This draft supplemental EIS includes the preliminary analysis that evaluates the environmental impacts of the proposed action and alternatives to the proposed action. Alternatives considered include replacement power from new supercritical coal-fired generation and natural gas combined-cycle generation; energy conservation/energy efficiency; and a combination of alternatives that included natural gas combined-cycle generation, conservation/efficiency, and improvements to hydroelectric dams; and not renewing the license (the no-action alternative).

The preliminary recommendation is that the Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable.
