Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) has issued Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-50 to Exelon Generation Company, LLC, (licensee), the operator of the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1, (TMI-1).

The factors considered in the record of decision appear in Supplement 37.

TMI-1 is a pressurized water reactor located 10 miles southeast of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The application for the renewed license complied with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission=s regulations. As required by the Act and the Commission=s regulations in 10 CFR Chapter 1, the Commission has made appropriate findings, which are set forth in the license.
