SUMMARY

OF PUBLIC MEETINGS ON THE DRAFT SUPPLEMENTALENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT REGARDING THE MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT LICENSE RENEWAL REVIEW (TAC NO. MC6441)The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff (the NRC or the staff) held public meetings onWednesday, March 22, 2006 in Monticello, Minnesota, concerning the staff's environmentalreview of the application submitted by Nuclear Management Company, LLC (NMC) for renewal of the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (Monticello) operating license. The purpose of thesemeetings was to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on the draft supplemental environmental impact statement (DSEIS) which was issued in January 2006. The public meetings were held at the Monticello Community Center in Monticello, Minnesota. Formalpresentations were made by the NRC staff and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory(LLNL) staff.The DSEIS is a plant-specific supplement for Monticello to the

?Generic Environmental ImpactStatement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants" (NUREG-1437). The NRC staff describedthe overall license renewal process and provided a description of the review required by the National Environmental Policy Act. The staff also discussed the environmental requirements outlined in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 51 (10 CFR Part 51), and thesevere accident mitigation alternatives analysis for Monticello. LLNL staff described the preliminary results of the environmental review analyses. The environmental impacts of continued operation were predicted to be small. The impacts of alternatives (including the no-action alternative) were predicted to have impacts in at least some environmental aspects that could reach moderate or large significance.After the formal presentations were given by the NRC staff, members of the public were invitedto provide comments. Approximately 46 people attended the two sessions. Attendees included members of the public, representatives of the NRC, NMC, Xcel Energy Inc., local citizen organizations and the news media.In an effort to improve communication and increase interaction with members of the public, theNRC staff also conducted an open house for one hour prior to each meeting, and encouragedthe public to submit meeting feedback forms. The staff provided displays and brochures and met with members of the public to answer questions about the proposed renewal of the Monticello operating license. Enclosure 1 provides a list of attendees for both sessions. Enclosure 2 is a copy of the meeting handouts. Enclosures 3 and 4 are the transcripts for the afternoon and evening meetings, respectively. Enclosure 5 is a copy of the presentation slides.The staff will consider all comments received on the Monticello DSEIS and revise the DSEIS asappropriate prior to issuing the final supplemental environmental impact statement, scheduled for September 2006./RA/ Jennifer A.
