8147 UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION III 1650 Arch Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103-2029 Mr. Andrew Kugler NRC Environmental Project Manager U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission MS O-12D1 Washington DC 20555 Re: Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Power Plants; Supplement 6 Surry Power Station, Units 1-and 2. -...
Dear Mr. Kugler:
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and Section 309 of the Clean Air Act, the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) has reviewed the Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement ( GEIS ) for License Renewal of Nuclear Power Plants; Supplement 6 Surry Power Station Units 1 and 2. EPA concurs with the analysis and conclusions for the environmental impacts as they relate to the alternatives discussed in the report.
The programmatic process for license renewal for this power plant and others covered in the Generic EIS allows for a large time lapse from license application to license renewal. Is there an opportunity to revisit some conclusions, especially those issues that may be associated with uncertainties, or issues that may have changed over time as the renewal period approaches approximately 15 years from this review process? Issues where technologies may advance, such as fuel cell development or storage of spent fuel is further defined, could alter some of the conclusions in the report.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this project and please feel free to contact me at 215-814-3367 if you wish to discuss these -issu-es in greater-detail.
Sincerely, William Arguto NEPA Team Leader EPA Region III Pritted on 100% recycled/recyclable paper with lO0% post-consunterflber and process chlorine free.
