Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR–22 authorizes operation of MNGP by the licensee at reactor core power levels not in excess of 1775 megawatts thermal (600 megawatts electric) in accordance with the provisions of the MNGP renewed license and its Technical Specifications. This notice also serves as the record of decision for the renewal of Facility Operating License No. DPR–22 for MNGP, Unit 1. As discussed in the final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS) for MNGP, dated September 2006, the Commission has considered a range of reasonable alternatives that included generation from coal, natural gas, oil, coalgasification, new nuclear, wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal, wood waste, municipal solid waste, other biomassderived fuels, fuel cells, delayed retirement, utility-sponsored conservation, a combination of alternatives, and a no-action alternative. This range of alternatives was discussed in the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal, Supplement 26 regarding Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. After weighing the environmental, economic, technical and other benefits of the facility against environmental costs and considering available alternatives, the Commission found that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal would be unreasonable. The Commission also has taken all practicable measures within its jurisdiction to avoid or minimize environmental harm in its decision to renew Facility Operating License No. DPR–22. No license conditions are imposed in connection with mitigation measures. The MNGP plant is a Boiling Water Reactor located in Monticello, MN.

reactor core power levels not in excess of 1775 megawatts thermal (600 
megawatts electric) in accordance with the provisions of the MNGP 
renewed license and its Technical Specifications.
    This notice also serves as the record of decision for the renewal

fuels, fuel cells, delayed retirement, utility-sponsored conservation, 
a combination of alternatives, and a no-action alternative. This range 
of alternatives was discussed in the Generic Environmental Impact 
Statement for License Renewal, Supplement 26 regarding Monticello

    After weighing the environmental, economic, technical and other 
benefits of the facility against environmental costs and considering 
available alternatives, the Commission found that the adverse 
environmental impacts of license renewal are not so great that 
preserving the option of license renewal would be unreasonable. The 
Commission also has taken all practicable measures within its 
jurisdiction to avoid or minimize environmental harm in its decision to 
renew Facility Operating License No. DPR-22. No license conditions are 
imposed in connection with mitigation measures.
