SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF THE FINAL PLANT-SPECIFIC SUPPLEMENT 16 TO THE GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (GEIS) REGARDING LICENSE RENEWAL FOR QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 (TAC NOS. MB6845 AND MB6846)
Dear Mr. Skolds:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed the plant-specific Supplement 16 to NUREG-1437, Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, regarding the renewal of operating licenses DPR-29 and DPR-30 for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, for an additional 20 years of operation. Enclosed is a copy of the final report and the associated Federal Register Notice of Availability. This notice advises the public that the final report is available for public inspection at the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). In addition, the Cordova District Library, 402 Main Avenue, Cordova, Illinois; the River Valley Library, 214 South Main Street, Port Byron, Illinois; and the Davenport Public Library, 321 Main Street Davenport, Iowa, have agreed to make the final supplement available for public inspection.
As discussed in Section 9.3 of this report, the staff recommends that the Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2 are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decision makers would be unreasonable. This recommendation is based on: (1) the analysis and findings in the GEIS; (2) the Environmental Report submitted by Exelon; (3) consultation with Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) the staffs own independent review; and (5) the staffs consideration of public comments.
J. Skolds A separate notice of filing of the final environmental impact statement will be placed in the Federal Register through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the NRC Environmental Project Manager, Dr. Michael T. Masnik, at 301-415-1191.
Sincerely,
