NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF THE DRAFT PLANT-SPECIFIC SUPPLEMENT 38 TO THE GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS REGARDING INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS. 2 AND 3 (TAC NOS.
MD5411 AND MD5412)
Dear Sir or Madam:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed the draft plant-specific Supplement 38 to NUREG-1437, ?Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (GEIS),@ regarding the renewal of operating licenses DPR-26 and DPR-64 for an additional 20 years of operation for the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos.
2 and 3 (IP2 and IP3). Enclosed is a copy of the draft supplement and the associated Federal Register Notice of Availability. This notice advises the public that the draft supplement is publicly available at the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) or from the NRC=s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at http://adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.htm. The Accession Numbers for the draft Supplement 38 to the GEIS are ML083540594 (Volume 1, main report) and ML083540614 (Volume 2, appendices). In addition, the White Plains Public Library (White Plains, NY), Hendrick Hudson Free Library (Montrose, NY), and the Field Library (Peekskill, NY), have agreed to make the draft supplement available for public inspection.
As discussed in Section 9.3 of the draft supplement, the preliminary recommendation of the staff is that the Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for IP2 and IP3 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 Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (the licensee); (3) consultation with Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) the staff=s own independent review; and (5) the staff=s consideration of public comments received during the scoping process.
A separate Notice of Availability of the draft supplemental 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, Mr. Andrew Stuyvenberg, at 301-415-4006 or by e-mail at Andrew.Stuyvenberg@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/
