has published a final plant-specific
supplement to the Generic
Environmental Impact Statement for
License Renewal of Nuclear Plants
(GEIS), NUREG–1437, regarding the
renewal of operating licenses NPF–57,
DPR–70, and DPR–75 for an additional
20 years of operation for the Hope Creek
Generating Station (HCGS) and Salem
Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and
2 (Salem). Possible alternatives to the
proposed action (license renewal)
include no action and reasonable
alternative energy sources.
As discussed in Section 9.4 of the
final supplement, the staff determined
that the adverse environmental impacts
of license renewal for HCGS and Salem
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) information provided in
the environmental report (ER) submitted
by PSEG Nuclear, LLC; (3) consultation
with Federal, State, and local agencies;
(4) a review of pertinent documents and
reports; and (5) consideration of public
comments received during scoping and
on the draft SEIS.
The final Supplement 45 to the GEIS
is publicly available at the NRC Public
Document Room (PDR), located at One
White Flint North, 11555 Rockville
Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852, or
from the NRC’s Agencywide Documents

In addition, the Salem Free Library, 112

Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.,
Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC,
Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power
Station, Receipt of Request for Action
Notice is hereby given that by petition
dated January 14, 2011, Mr. Thomas
Saporito has requested that pursuant to
Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), Section 2.206,
‘‘Requests for Action under this
Subpart,’’ the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) take action with
regard to the Vermont Yankee Nuclear
Power Station (VY).
Mr. Saporito requested in his petition
that the NRC (1) Issue a confirmatory
order requiring the licensee to
immediately bring the reactor in
question to a cold shutdown mode of
operation; (2) issue a civil penalty
against the licensee; (3) remove the
licensee’s employees responsible for
this matter from NRC-licensed activities
for a period of no less than 5 years; and
(4) perform an immediate NRC
investigation and inspection of VY to
ensure that all nuclear safety-related
systems are properly operational in
accordance with the licensee’s technical
specification and NRC license.
The Petition Review Board (PRB) met
on January 24, 2011, to discuss the
petition and denied the request for
immediate action to bring VY to a cold
shutdown mode of operation and to
perform an immediate NRC
investigation and inspection of VY
because the PRB did not identify any
urgent public health and safety concerns
that would warrant an immediate
shutdown and NRC investigation and
inspection.
On January 24, 2011, Mr. Saporito
was informed of the PRB’s decision on
the immediate action, and he requested
an opportunity to address the PRB
before its initial meeting to provide
supplemental information for the
Board’s consideration. By
teleconference on January 26, 2011, Mr.
Saporito provided information to the
PRB as further explanation and support
for the petition. A copy of the transcript
is available in the NRC’s Agencywide

The PRB met on February 2, 2011, to
discuss the petition and made an initial
recommendation to accept the petition
in part concerning the failure of relief
valve because this issue met the criteria
for review.
On February 8, 2011, Mr. Saporito
was informed of the PRB’s initial
recommendation to accept the petition
in part, and Mr. Saporito requested
another opportunity to address the PRB
to provide comments to the PRB’s initial
recommendation and additional
information in support of the petition.
By teleconference on February 14, 2011,
Mr. Saporito provided information to
the PRB in support of his request for an
immediate shutdown and an immediate
NRC investigation and inspection of VY.
A copy of the transcript is available in
ADAMS under Accession No.
ML110330256.
The PRB confirmed its initial
recommendation because the additional
information provided on February 14,
2011, did not change the PRB’s decision
to deny the request for immediate
action.
The requests are being treated
pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206 of the
Commission’s regulations. The requests
have been referred to the Director of the
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. As
provided by 10 CFR 2.206, appropriate
action will be taken on this consolidated
petition within a reasonable time.
