Dear Mr. Scalice:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducted a scoping process from March 10, 2004 through June 4, 2004 to determine the scope of the NRC staffs environmental review of the application for renewal of the operating licenses for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN),

As part of the scoping process, the NRC staff held two public environmental scoping meetings in Athens, Alabama, on April 1, 2004, to solicit public input regarding the scope of the review. The scoping process is the first step in the development of a plant-specific supplement to NUREG-1437, Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (GEIS), for the BFN.
