SUMMARY

OF PUBLIC MEETINGS ON THE DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT REGARDING THE VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION, LICENSE RENEWAL REVIEW (TAC NO. MC9670)

On Wednesday, January 31, 2007, members of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff held public meetings in Brattleboro, Vermont, concerning the staffs environmental review of the application submitted by Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy) for renewal of Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VYNPS) operating license. The purpose of the meetings was to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on the draft supplemental environmental impact statement (DSEIS) which was issued in December 2006. Formal presentations were made by NRC staff and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) staff.

The DSEIS is a plant-specific supplement for VYNPS to the ?Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (NUREG-1437). The NRC staff described the overall license renewal process, provided a description of the National Environmental Policy Act review process, and discussed the environmental requirements outlined in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 51 (10 CFR Part 51). The NRC staff also described the preliminary results of their analyses. The environmental impacts of continued operation were predicted to be small in all areas. 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 invited to provide comments. Approximately 160 people attended the two sessions. Attendees included members of the public, NRC, Entergy, State agencies, and the news media.

In an effort to improve communication and increase interaction with members of the public, the NRC staff conducted open houses for one hour before each meeting and encouraged the 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 VYNPS operating license.

A combined listing of attendees for both public meetings is provided in Enclosure 1. Enclosure 2 is a copy of the meeting handouts provided during the public meeting open house. The official corrected transcripts for the afternoon and evening meetings are publicly available at the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852, or from the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).

The ADAMS Public Electronic Reading Room is accessible at http://adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.html. The transcripts for the afternoon and evening meetings are listed under Accession Nos. ML070530012 and ML070530014, respectively. A copy of the slides used during the NRCs presentation is also available in ADAMS under Accession No. ML070540527. Persons who do not have access to ADAMS, or who encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, should contact the NRC's PDR Reference staff by telephone at 1-800-397-4209, or 301-415-4737, or by e-mail at pdr@nrc.gov.

The closing date to accept comments on the VYNPS DSEIS was March 07, 2007. The NRC staff will consider all comments on the VYNPS DSEIS and make any necessary revisions to the document prior to issuing its final supplemental environmental impact statement, scheduled for August 2007.
