The unit would operate at a steady-state power level of 3411 megawatts thermal. The original application dated June 30, 1976, was found acceptable for docketing on September 15, 1976, and ‘‘Notice of Receipt of Application for Facility Operating Licenses; Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Facility Operating Licenses; and Notice of Opportunity for Hearing’’ for WBN Units 1 and 2 was published in the Federal Register on December 27, 1976 (41 FR 56244). On February 7, 1996, the NRC issued a full-power OL to TVA to operate WBN Unit 1 at this site. However, TVA has not completed construction of WBN Unit 2. Construction of the facility was authorized by Construction Permit No. CPPR–92, issued by the Commission on January 23, 1973. TVA has stated that it expects to complete construction prior to April 1, 2012. Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act, as amended, and the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR Part 51, on February 15, 2008, TVA PO 00000 Frm 00077 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 submitted to the NRC ‘‘Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN)—Unit 2—Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement [FSEIS] for the Completion and Operation of Unit 2,’’ to the NRC in support of its OL application for WBN Unit 2. By letter dated January 27, 2009, TVA submitted its ‘‘Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement— Severe Accident Management Alternatives [SAMA],’’ to supplement its FSEIS. After the staff has completed its review of TVA’s FSEIS, the NRC will prepare a draft supplement to environmental impact statement related to the operation of WBN Unit 2 (SEIS– OL). Upon preparation of the draft SEIS–OL, the Commission will, among other things, cause to be published in the Federal Register, a notice of availability of the draft supplement, requesting comments from interested persons on the draft SEIS–OL. The notice will also contain a statement to the effect that any comments of Federal agencies and State and local officials will be made available when received. The draft SEIS–OL will focus on matters that differ from those previously discussed in the final environmental statement prepared in connection with the issuance of the construction permits and the WBN Unit 1 OL. Upon consideration of comments submitted with respect to the draft SEIS–OL, the Commission’s staff will prepare a final SEIS–OL, the availability of which will be published in the Federal Register. The NRC staff will complete a detailed technical review of the application and will document its findings in Supplements to NUREG– 0847, ‘‘Safety Evaluation Report Related to the Operation of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Unit 2.’’ The Commission will consider the issuance of the facility OL to TVA, which would authorize the applicant to possess, use and operate the WBN Unit 2 in accordance with the provisions of the license and the technical specifications appended thereto, upon: (1) The completion of a favorable safety evaluation of the application by the Commission’s staff; (2) the completion of the environmental review required by the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR Part 51; (3) the receipt of a report on the applicants application for the facility OL by the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards; and (4) a finding by the Commission that the application for the facility licenses, as amended, complies with the requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I. The OL will not be issued until the Commission has made the findings E:\FR\FM\01MYN1.SGM 01MYN1
