Purpose of Today's Meeting
- Discuss the results of environmental review
- Provide the review schedule
- Describe how to submit comments in the future
- Accept oral and written comments November 17, 2005 2
NRC's Regulatory Oversight
" Atomic Energy Act
- n. Regulate civilian use of nuclear materials
" NRC Mission

Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2
" Current operating licenses expire in January 2016, and May 2027 1
" Application requests authorization to operate Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 for an additional 20 years November 17, 2005 4
inal SEIS
-issued November 17, 2005 5
Environmental Review
" National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) requires Federal agencies to use a systematic approach to consider environmental impacts
" An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required for major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment
" The Commission has determined that a Supplement (SEIS) to the "Generic EIS for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants" will be prepared for a license renewal application November 17, 2005 6

Environmental Review Scope
" Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GELS)
" Site-specific Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS)
" New and Significant Information November 17, 2005 9
Decision Standard for Environmental Review To determine whether or not the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 are so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable.
November 17, 2005 10
Environmental Impacts of Continued Operation
- Threatened or Endangered Species
- Cumulative Impacts November 17, 2005 IlI
How Impacts are Quantified NRC-defined impact levels:
" SMALL: Effect is not detectable or too small to destabilize or noticeably alter any important attribute of the resource
" MODERATE: Effect is sufficient to alter noticeably, but not destabilize important attributes of the resource m LARGE: Effect is clearly noticeable and sufficient to destabilize important attributes of the resource November 17, 2005 12
Cooling System
" Category 2 issues
" Water Use Conflicts
" Microbiological Organisms (Public Health)
" Preliminary findings m Impacts are SMALL n No mitigation identified November 17, 2005 1 !3
Radiological Impacts
" Category 1 issues n Radiation exposures to the public m Occupational radiation exposures
" Preliminary findings
" No new and significant information identified
" GElS concluded impacts are SMALL November 17, 2005 114
Threatened or Endangered Species
" No Federally-listed T&E terrestrial species Plove
" No aquatic species
November 17, 2005 15
Socioeconomics
" Category 1 issues a Public services, aesthetic impacts
" Category 2 issues
- Housing, public utilities, offsite land use, transportation, historic resources
" Environmental Justice
" Preliminary findings
" No new and significant information
" None to SMALL impact November 17, 2005 16
Refurbishment
" Category 1 issues
" Category 2 issues
" Preliminary findings
" No new and significant information
" None to SMALL impact 17 November 17, 2005 17
Postulated Accidents
" Category 1 issues
" Design-basis accidents
" Severe Accidents
" Severe accidents
- Severe accident mitigation alternatives (SAMAs)
November 17, 2005 18
SAMA Evaluation Process
- 63 and 56 for Units 1 and 2 respectively potential SAMAs considered
- 5 and 3 for Units 1 and 2 respectively SAMAs identified as cost-beneficial
- None relate to managing the effects of aging; therefore, neither are required as part of license renewal 19 November 17, 2005 19
Other Environmental Impacts Evaluated
" Uranium Fuel Cycle and Solid Waste Management
" Decommissioning November 17, 2005 20
Cumulative Impacts of Operation
" Considered impacts of renewal term operations combined with other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions
" Evaluated to end of 20-year renewal term
" Preliminary Findings
- Considered industrial actions and facilities in the region.
- Impacts could range from SMALL to MODERATE 21 November 17, 2005 21
Alternatives Alternatives Considered
" No-action (license not renewed)
" Alternative energy sources
" New generation (Coal, Natural Gas, Nuclear)
" Purchased electrical power
" Combination of alternatives
- Environmental impacts of alternatives could reach SMALL or MODERATE significance in some impact areas November 17, 2005 22
Preliminary Conclusions
" Impacts of license renewal are SMALL for all impact areas
" Impacts of alternatives may reach SMALL to MODERATE
" The NRC staff's preliminary recommendation is the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for BVPS Units 1 and 2 are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable November 17, 2005 23
