Discussion On August 6, 2024, the NRC published a final rule in the Federal Register (89 FR 64166) revising its environmental protection regulations in 10 CFR part 51, ‘‘Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions.’’ The final rule updates the potential environmental impacts associated with the renewal of an operating license for a nuclear power plant for up to an additional 20 years for either an initial license renewal or one period of SLR. Revision 2 to NUREG– 1437, ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants’’ (LR GEIS) (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML24087A133) provides the technical basis for the final rule. The revised LR GEIS supports the updated list of environmental issues and associated environmental impact findings contained in table B–1 in appendix B to subpart A of the revised 10 CFR part 51 for both initial license renewals and one period of SLR. The final rule became effective 30 days after its publication in the Federal Register (i.e., on September 5, 2024), and staff must now consider the new and modified issues, as applicable, in its license renewal EISs. Accordingly, the NRC staff intends to prepare a supplement to the LR GEIS for the Browns Ferry SLR application. In contrast to the previously planned sitespecific EIS, the SEIS will rely on the LR GEIS determinations for Category 1 (generic) issues that apply to all or a distinct subset of nuclear power plants. Site-specific information will be considered only on Category 2 (sitespecific) issues and will be screened for new and significant information on Category 1 issues. The NRC staff has determined that the original scoping period conducted for a site-specific EIS review is sufficient to include any comments that would have been submitted for a SEIS that relies on site-specific determinations for Category 2 issues and on the LR GEIS generic determinations for Category 1 issues; therefore, an additional scoping period will not be conducted. All information submitted during the 30-day scoping period that began April 3, 2024, will be considered and evaluated as appropriate during the development of the staff’s SEIS for the Browns Ferry SLR. When issued, the draft SEIS will be made available for public comment in accordance with 10 CFR 51.73. Dated: October 16, 2024.
