II. Discussion
Exelon is the holder of Renewed
Facility Operating License No. DPR–16
for Oyster Creek. The license provides,
among other things, that the facility is
subject to all rules, regulations, and
orders of the NRC now or hereafter in
effect. The facility consists of one
boiling-water reactor located in Ocean
County, New Jersey. By letter dated
January 7, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML110070507), the licensee submitted
Notification of Permanent Cessation of
Power Operations for Oyster Creek. In
this letter, Exelon notified the NRC of its
intent to permanently cease operations
at Oyster Creek no later than December
31, 2019. By letter dated February 14,
2018 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML18045A084), the licensee submitted
its revised Notification of Permanent
Cessation of Power Operations for
Oyster Creek. In this letter, Exelon
notified the NRC of its intent to
permanently cease operations at Oyster
Creek no later than October 31, 2018.
On May 21, 2018, Exelon submitted
the PSDAR, including the site-specific
DCE for Oyster Creek, in accordance
with § 50.82(a)(4)(i) of title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (ADAMS
Accession No. ML18141A775). The
PSDAR includes a description of the
planned decommissioning activities, a
proposed schedule for their
accomplishment, the site-specific DCE,
and a discussion that provides the basis
for concluding that the environmental
impacts associated with the site-specific
PO 00000
Frm 00090
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
decommissioning activities will be
bounded by appropriate, previously
issued generic and plant-specific
environmental impact statements. In a
separate letter, Exelon submitted its
update to the spent fuel management
plan for Oyster Creek on May 21, 2018
(ADAMS Accession No. ML18141A486).
III. Request for Comment and Public
Meeting
The NRC is requesting public
comments on the PSDAR, including the
DCE, for Oyster Creek. The NRC will
conduct a public meeting to discuss the
PSDAR, including the DCE, and receive
comments on Tuesday, July 17, 2018,
from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m., at the
