SUMMARY

OF PUBLIC MEETINGS ON THE DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT REGARDING THE JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT LICENSE RENEWAL REVIEW (TAC NO. MD 2667)

On Wednesday, August 01, 2007, members of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) held public meetings in Oswego, New York, at the Town of Scriba Municipal Building, concerning the NRC staffs environmental review of the application submitted by Entergy Nuclear FitzPatrick, LLC, and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy), for renewal of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAFNPP) operating license. The purpose of the meeting was to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on the draft supplemental environmental impact statement (DSEIS), which was issued in June 2007. Formal presentations were made by the NRC staff.

The DSEIS is a site-specific supplement for JAFNPP to the ?Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (NUREG-1437). The NRC staff described the overall license renewal process and provided a description of the National Environmental Policy Act review process. The NRC staff also described the preliminary results of the analysis.

The environmental impacts of continued operation were preliminarily characterized as small in all areas. The impacts of alternatives (including the no-action alternative) were preliminarily characterized as potentially reaching moderate to large significance in at least some environmental areas.

After the formal presentations were given by the NRC staff, members of the public were invited to provide comments. Approximately 30 people attended the two sessions. Participants included members of the public, representatives of the NRC, Entergy, local media, and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

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. The staff provided displays and brochures and met with members of the public to answer questions about the proposed renewal of the JAFNPP operating license.

A combined listing of participants for both public meetings is provided in Enclosure 1. 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). ADAMS is accessible at http://adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.htm. The transcripts for the afternoon and evening meetings are listed under Accession Nos. ML072260051 and ML072260053, respectively.

A copy of the slides used during the NRCs presentation is also available in ADAMS under Accession No. ML072260023. 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 JAFNPP DSEIS is September 05, 2007. The NRC staff will consider all comments on the JAFNPP DSEIS and make any necessary revisions to the document prior to issuing its final supplemental environmental impact statement, scheduled for January 2008.
