II. Discussion

    This supplement includes the NRC staff evaluation of revised 
information provided by NextEra pertaining to the severe accident 
mitigation alternatives (SAMA) analysis for Seabrook. In addition, this 
supplement updates the Uranium Fuel Cycle section in light of the June 
8, 2012, U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit 
(New York v. NRC, 681 F.3d 471 (D.C. Cir. 2012)) decision to vacate the 
NRC's Waste Confidence Decision Rule (75 FR 81032, 75 FR 81037) and 
provides information on its analysis of new NEPA issues and associated 
environmental impact findings for license renewal. This supplement does 
not change the recommendation in Section 9.4 of the draft supplement 
issued in August 2011. In the August 2011 draft Supplement 46, the 
NRC's preliminary recommendation was that the adverse environmental 
impacts of license renewal for Seabrook Station, Unit 1, were not great 
enough to deny the option of license renewal for energy-planning 
decision makers.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of April 2013.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
