Environmental Impacts of the Proposed
Action
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
The NRC has completed its evaluation
of the proposed action and concludes
that there are no environmental impacts
associated with adopting a selective
implementation of the alternative source
term radiological analysis methodology.
The details of the staff’s safety
evaluation will be provided in the
license amendment that will be issued
as part of the letter to the licensee
approving the license amendment.
The proposed action will not
significantly increase the probability or
consequences of accidents. The NRC
amended its regulations to allow
holders of operating licenses at
currently operating reactors to
voluntarily amend their design basis to
replace the current accident source term
with an alternative source term. The
proposed rule was published for public
comment and availability of the draft
environmental assessment was noticed
on March 11, 1999 (64 FR 12117). The
NRC’s finding of no significant
environmental impact for revision of 10
CFR Parts 21, 50 and 54 (Agencywide
Documents Access and Management
System (ADAMS) Accession No.
ML993430370), confirms that the use of
an alternative source term alone does
not increase core damage frequency,
large early release frequency or actual
offsite or onsite doses. The NRC’s safety
evaluation of the licensee’s amendment
request reassured the values met dose
criteria. No changes are being made in
the types of effluents that may be
released off site. There is no significant
increase in the amount of any effluent
released off site. There is no significant
increase in occupational or public
radiation exposure. Therefore, there are
no significant radiological
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed action.
With regard to potential
nonradiological impacts, the proposed
action does not have a potential to affect
any historic sites. It does not affect
nonradiological plant effluents and has
no other environmental impact.
Therefore, there are no significant
nonradiological environmental impacts
associated with the proposed action.
Accordingly, the NRC concludes that
there are no significant environmental
impacts associated with the proposed
action.
Environmental Impacts of the
Alternatives to the Proposed Action
As an alternative to the proposed
action, the staff considered denial of the
proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’
alternative). Denial of the application

Jkt 211001
would result in no change in current
environmental impacts. The
environmental impacts of the proposed
action and the alternative action are
similar.
Alternative Use of Resources
The action does not involve the use of
any different resource than those
previously considered in NUREG–0063,
‘‘Final Environmental Statement Related
to the Operation of William B. McGuire
Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2,’’ April
1976, and the Addendum to NUREG–
0063 issued in January 1981; and in
NUREG–1437, ‘‘Generic Environmental
Impact Statement for License Renewal
of Nuclear Plants, Supplement 8,
Regarding McGuire Nuclear Station,
Units 1 and 2, Final Report,’’ dated
December 2002.
Agencies and Persons Consulted
In accordance with its stated policy,
on November 14, 2006, the staff
consulted with the North Carolina State
official, Mr. Jeffrey Bethea of the
Division of Environmental Health,
Radiation Protection Section, North
Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources, regarding the
environmental impact of the proposed
action. The State official had no
comments.
Finding of No Significant Impact
On the basis of the environmental
assessment, the NRC concludes that the
proposed action will not have a
significant effect on the quality of the
human environment. Accordingly, the
NRC has determined not to prepare an
environmental impact statement for the
proposed action.
For further details with respect to the
proposed action, see the licensee’s letter
dated December 20, 2005, as
supplemented by letters dated May 4
and August 31, 2006. Documents may
be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at
the NRC’s Public Document Room
(PDR), located at One White Flint North,
Public File Area O1 F21, 11555

Maryland. Publicly available records
will be accessible electronically from
