Seabrook. Seabrook is located 13 miles
south of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Possible alternatives to the proposed
action (license renewal) include no
action and reasonable alternative energy
sources.

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 energyplanning decision makers.
