April 14, 2006 Mr. Cornelius J. Gannon, Vice President Brunswick Steam Electric Plant Carolina Power & Light Company Post Office Box 10429 Southport, NC 28461-0429
SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF THE FINAL SUPPLEMENT 25 TO THE GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (GEIS) REGARDING LICENSE RENEWAL FOR BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 (TAC NOS. MC4641 AND MC4642)
Dear Mr. Gannon:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed the plant-specific Supplement 25 to NUREG-1437, ?Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (GEIS), regarding the renewal of operating licenses DPR-71 and DPR-62 for an additional 20 years of operation at Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2. 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 publicly available on the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. The accession number for the final Supplement 25 to the GEIS is ML060900480. In addition, the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, William Madison Randall Library, located at 601 S. College Rd, Wilmington, NC 28403-5616, has agreed to make the final Supplement 25 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 Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, 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 the Carolina Power & Light Company; (3) consultation with Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) the staffs own independent review; and (5) the staffs consideration of public comments received during the environmental review.
C. Gannon 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, Ms. Alicia R. Williamson, at 1-800-368-5642, extension 1878 or by email at ARW1@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/
