2 JAY ROBINSON: If I could have everyone take 3
a seat, please, and well get started.
4 I want to first of all thank everybody for 5
coming out tonight. This is a public meeting of the 6
Nuclear Regulatory Commission where we will be 7
soliciting comments on the Palo Verde Draft 8
Environmental Impact Statement, which was completed as 9
part of their license renewal process. My name is Jay 10 Robinson. Im a branch chief from the Nuclear 11 Regulatory Commission and I
work in Rockville, 12 Maryland.
13 First of all, lets just go over a couple of 14 ground rules. Everybody knows where the exit is, right 15 there in case there is an emergency. This door over 16 here has the restrooms and a water fountain. If you 17 need the facilities, theyre over there. If you do 18 have a cell phone or a pager, just put it on vibrate.
19 If you do have to take a call, please exit the room and 20 take the call outside. If you have to have a sidebar 21 conversation, Ill just ask that you do that outside as 22 well so you dont disturb the meeting.
23 We are transcribing the meeting today, so if 24 you are going to make a public comment, please announce 25

(202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 yourself, your name, and your affiliation and speak 1
slowly and clearly into the microphone. The transcript 2
should be available I guess a couple of weeks after 3
today well have that -- do we post that publicly, the 4
transcript?
5 DAVID DRUCKER: Yes.
6 JAY ROBINSON: Yes. So that will be posted 7
on the public website.
8 First of all, were going to start off with a 9
very brief presentation of the license renewal process.
10 Well talk a little bit about the environmental review 11 for Palo Verde and then most of the time is going to be 12 devoted to the public comments.
13 Right now we have, I think, three people 14 signed up to speak; is that right?
15 KEVIN FOLK: Yes.
16 JAY ROBINSON: So if you do want to make a 17 public comment, you can see Kevin in the back there and 18 sign up to speak. But at this time we only have three 19 people.
20 There are some additional staff members from 21 Headquarters, we have Mr. David Drucker; hes the 22 project manager, the environmental project manager for 23 Palo Verde license renewal. We have Kevin Folk sitting 24 at the back table; hes with the Environmental Review 25

(202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 Branch at Headquarters. Lara Uselding, shes from 1
regional staff. And also the -- who work at the 2
Resident Inspectors office we have Joe Bashore, Michael 3
Baquera, and Gina McFadden. So welcome all of those 4
NRC staff people.
5 I dont think I have anything else. Does 6
anybody have any questions before we begin? Then Ill 7
hand it over to David and well start the meeting.
8 Thank you.
9 DAVID DRUCKER: Thank you, Jay.
10 The NRC was established to regulate civilian 11 uses of nuclear materials including applications that 12 produce electric power. The NRC conducts license 13 renewal reviews for plants whose owners wish to operate 14 them beyond their initial license period.
15 NRC license renewal reviews address safety 16 issues related to managing the effects of aging and 17 environmental issues related to an additional 20 years 18 of operation. In all aspects of the NRCs regulation, 19 our mission is threefold: protect public health and 20 safety, promote common defense and security, and 21 protect the environment.
22 In this meeting I will discuss the potential 23 site-specific impacts of license renewal for Palo Verde 24 Nuclear Generating Station. The site-specific findings 25
6 NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.
(202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 are contained in the Draft Supplemental Environmental 1
Impact Statement the NRC staff published on August 12 th, 2
2010.
This document contains analyses of all 3
applicable site-specific issues, as well as a review of 4
issues common to many or all nuclear power plants.
5 Issues for which the environmental impacts are the same 6
across some or all nuclear power plants are discussed 7
in the Generic Environmental Impact Statement.
8 NRC staff reviewed these issues to determine 9
whether the conclusions in the Generic Environmental 10 Impact Statement are valid for Palo Verde. The NRC 11 staff also reviewed the environmental impacts of 12 potential alternatives to license renewal.
We 13 considered ways to replace Palo Verdes electric 14 generation capacity to determine whether the impacts 15 expected from license renewal are unreasonable in 16 comparison to other power generation options.
17 An earlier part of this environmental review 18 was the scoping period. During this period, the NRC 19 solicited comments concerning what to focus our review 20 on. Comments received during the scoping period and 21 responses to those comments are addressed in Appendix A 22 of the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact 23 Statement. Comments were grouped into categories shown 24 in the second bullet on the slide. Many of the 25
7 NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.
(202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 comments voiced support for continued operation of Palo 1
Verde.
2 This slide lists the environmental issues NRC 3
staff reviewed for Palo Verde. The staffs preliminary 4
conclusion is that all site-specific impacts related to 5
license renewal are small.
6 Air quality in the vicinity of Palo Verde is 7
regulated by the Maricopa County Air Quality 8
Department, and they recently reissued the Palo Verde 9
air permit in August 2010.
10 Groundwater at Palo Verde is regulated by the 11 Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and the 12 Arizona Department of Water Resources. And Palo Verde 13 pumps groundwater at rates well below what it is 14 authorized.
15 Concerning surface water, Palo Verde does not 16 draw water directly from any natural surface water 17 body; instead it uses treated wastewater effluent from 18 the Phoenix area. Palo Verde does not release water to 19 any natural surface water body. Instead, cooling water 20 is discharged to man-made, lined, evaporation ponds 21 with no outlet and no hydraulic connection to any 22 natural surface water body.
23 Concerning aquatic and terrestrial source 24 resources, NRC staff contacted the U.S. Fish and 25
8 NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.
(202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 Wildlife Service and the Arizona Game and Fish 1
Department and determined that the impact to these 2
resources would be small.
3 The review of human health included noise, 4
radiation exposure, and electromagnetic fields.
5 Socioeconomics addressed housing
- impacts, 6
public services, off-site land use, transportation, 7
historic and archaeological resources, and 8
9 The detailed analysis of each of these issues 10 is presented in chapter four of the Draft Supplemental 11 Environmental Impact Statement, and waste management is 12 addressed in chapter six.
13 When reviewing the potential cumulative 14 impacts of license renewal on the environment, NRC 15 staff also looked at the effects on the environment 16 from other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable 17 future human actions. The NRC staff preliminarily 18 concluded that the cumulative impacts associated with 19 these issues shown above would be small, and this 20 analysis is addressed in Section 4.11 of the Draft 21 Environmental Impact Statement.
22 A major step in determining whether license 23 renewal is reasonable or not is comparing its likely 24 impacts with alternatives, including other methods of 25
9 NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.
(202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 power generation and not renewing the Palo Verde 1
operating licenses.
2 In the Draft Environmental Impact Statement, 3
NRC staff considered coal-fired generation, natural gas 4
generation, new nuclear generation, and as part of a 5
combination alternative, conservation and efficiency 6
combined with natural gas generation and with solar 7
power.
8 The NRC staff initially considered a number 9
of additional alternatives for analysis as alternatives 10 to license renewal. These were later dismissed due to 11 technical, resource ability, or commercial limitations 12 that currently exist and that are likely to continue to 13 exist when the existing Palo Verde licenses expire.
14 Finally, the NRC staff considered what would 15 happen if no action is taken and Palo Verde shuts down 16 at the end of its current licenses without a
17 replacement alternative. And overall the staff found 18 the impacts from energy alternatives would vary widely 19 based on the characteristics of those alternatives. In 20 most cases, construction of new facilities created 21 significant impacts. Overall, NRC staff concludes that 22 continued operation of Palo Verde is the 23 environmentally preferred alternative.
24 So based on a
review of the likely 25
10 NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.
(202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 environmental impacts from license renewal as well as 1
potential environmental impacts of alternatives to 2
license
- renewal, the NRC staffs preliminary 3
recommendation is the environmental impacts of license 4
renewal for Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station are 5
not so great that license renewal would be 6
unreasonable.
7 Well, the environmental review is not yet 8
completed; your comments today and all written comments 9
received by the end of the comment period on October 10 29 th will be considered by NRC staff as we develop the 11 final supplemental environmental impact statement, 12 which we currently plan to issue this winter. It will 13 contain the staffs final recommendation on the 14 acceptability of license renewal based on the work 15 weve already performed and on the input we receive 16 during the comment period. Your comments can help to 17 change the staffs findings in the final environmental 18 impact statement.
19 I am the primary contact for environmental 20 review and Lisa Regner is the primary contact for the 21 safety review. Hard copies of the Draft Environmental 22 Impact Statement are available at the back table where 23 Kevin is sitting, as are copies on CD, on compact disk.
24 In addition, Litchfield Park Branch Library and Sam 25

(202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 Garcia Western Avenue Library have copies available.
1 You can also find electronic copies of the Draft 2
Environmental Impact Statement along with other 3
information about the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating 4
Station license renewal review online at the third 5
bullet shown on the slide.
6 And if you need this information just, you 7
know, later on after the briefing, please come up and 8
Ill tell you where you can find it. Its actually 9
inside the very first couple of pages of the Draft 10 Environmental Impact Statement.
11 So to submit written comments, you can send 12 them to the NRC via email at the address at the first 13 bullet or via conventional mail and if you have any 14 written comments today you can provide them to any NRC 15 staff member.
16 And that concludes my remarks. And I will 17 now turn the meeting back over to Jay. And I just want 18 to say thank you all very, very much, especially for 19 those who have listened to this for two times today.
20 JAY ROBINSON: Thank you, David.
21 Now well open the meeting up to public 22 comments. First is Dr. Clay Goodman.
23 CLAY GOODMAN: Good evening all, and Im 24 going to wear some multiple hats this evening.
25
12 NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.
(202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 My name is Clay Goodman, Im the Vice 1
President for Occupational Education here at Estrella 2
Mountain Community College, and were very happy to 3
host this meeting this evening. So thats the first 4
hat, as your host. Welcome. I hope youve enjoyed the 5
campus. Ive heard some comments that people like what 6
they see. We like providing service to the community.
7 The second hat, similar to the first, is our 8
long-term relationship with Palo Verde. It goes back 9
many, many years with both Arizona Public Service as 10 the parent company and Palo Verde Nuclear Generating 11 Station.
12 Estrella Mountain is part of the Maricopa 13 County Community College District; those of you that 14 live here may know that. Maricopa is the largest 15 community college district in the country. We have 16 about 270,000 students enrolled this semester.
17 Estrella Mountain is one of ten colleges, we have about 18 8,000 students enrolled, and many of those are Palo 19 Verde employees.
20 Specifically, programs that we provide have 21 to do with the operation of the plant. We have a long 22 relationship in working with the maintenance folks, the 23 tradesmen who keep the plant put together. Our 24 maintenance internship program has produced about 150 25
13 NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.
(202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 program completers since its inception, many of whom 1
are working at Palo Verde right now either as 2
apprentices or after theyve moved through that program 3
are working as journeymen, tradesmen. Areas: HVAC, 4
machining, instrumentation and control, and several 5
other trades. Its been a very long and fruitful 6
partnership, and one that Palo Verdes been 7
instrumental in helping us put together. We meet 8
regularly with Palo Verde staff to review curriculum, 9
to review standards and make sure that those are 10 delivered to the students who would then hopefully 11 become employees.
12 The second educational relationship that we 13 have is relatively new. Its working with Palo Verde 14 on a
uniform curriculum through Nuclear Energy 15 Institute. I just know it as NEI, so I hope I got 16 Nuclear Energy Institute right. But theyre developing 17 a uniform curriculum that will help train future 18 workers to work in nuclear plants.
19 We just finished a curriculum analysis on 20 radiation protection technology that is moving through 21 the approval process. Radiation protection is a new 22 program for us in just the last couple of years and we 23 have about 40 students enrolled. Were very excited 24 about that.
25
14 NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.
(202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 Palo Verde has, again, been instrumental in 1
providing faculty for us. The expertise that we need 2
in the classroom to help train that future workforce is 3
very important to keeping the plant safe and then can 4
have some relevance to the environmental impact. Were 5
growing that program, and when the curriculum is vetted 6
through the NEI and becomes uniform, we hope to join a 7
consortium with California nuclear utilities, the 8
colleges that are associated with those will work with 9
Estrella Mountain in helping provide that particular 10 workforce.
11 Radiation protection is the first, and were 12 looking at chemistry and operations as well, to expand 13 into. And we couldnt do it without a partner like 14 Palo Verde. Palo Verde couldnt do it without a 15 partner like Estrella Mountain. So its been a very 16 positive relationship and one were very happy to have 17 and would like to see it continue.
18 The third hat, the last hat Im going to 19 wear, is as a resident of the West Valley. I live and 20 work out here, raise my family out here, have 21 absolutely no concerns that theres a nuclear power 22 plant located very close. As a matter of fact, when I 23 was going to college I was an iron worker and some of 24 my rebar is buried under concrete out there. But I 25
15 NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.
(202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 think it just speaks to Palo Verdes commitment to the 1
community, keeping the community informed, keeping the 2
community safe and its somebody that we would like to 3
keep out here. Thank you very much.
4 JAY ROBINSON: Thank you for those comments.
5 Next, we have Anna Kupcik.
6 ANNA KUPCIK: Thank you. Im glad to be here 7
tonight. Im Anna Kupcik with the Buckeye Valley 8
Chamber of Commerce and I just want -- Im going to 9
read this so I dont miss anything.
10 The Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce and 11 the business community in Buckeye strongly support the 12 continued operation of the Palo Verde nuclear 13 generating station as an asset to this area.
14 Palo Verde employs over 2000 people full-15 time, with periodic additions of temporary workers, 16 providing major economic benefits to our community. We 17 have confidence in the ability of APS to operate the 18 plant efficiently, safely, and to the benefit of our 19 entire area. Palo Verde provides 35 percent of the 20 power in Arizona and supplies parts of California with 21 clean, efficient energy. We appreciate the outreach 22 efforts of the NRC and APS, keeping us updated on 23 issues at Palo Verde and we appreciate this opportunity 24 to express our views.

(202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 And I too am a resident of the West Valley 1
and have been around since the building of Palo Verde 2
and seen the economic impacts its had on the whole 3
west side for about 30 years. So we really appreciate 4
having that in our own backyard.
5 JAY ROBINSON: Thank you. Next, we have Jeff 6
Muecke.
7 JEFF MUECKE: Correct.
8 JAY ROBINSON: Did I pronounce your name 9
right?
10 JEFF MUECKE: You did.
11 JAY ROBINSON: Okay, good.
12 JEFF MUECKE: Very good. So thank you.
13 JAY ROBINSON: I had a lot of help with that.
14 JEFF MUECKE: Thats very good.
15 Good evening. Im really here for two fold, 16 one is living here in residence in the Valley of the 17 Sun since 1968. You know, as growing up and going to 18 Phoenix College and ASU I can tell you that you always 19 wonder where power comes from and where electricity is 20 and what resources you have. And Ive got to tell you, 21 Ive never worried, really, about the Palo Verde plant 22 being here.
23 Im a resident here at Litchfield Park and I 24 can tell you its had a significant impact on the 25
17 NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.
(202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 growth here of the Valley. And I know a lot of people 1
that do work out at the plant, a lot of people that 2
benefit from having the plant here in the Valley, and I 3
would like to see it continue to be able to prosper.
4 From a business standpoint I have been very 5
fortunate to work on the education side of the private 6
sector, which is Universal Technical Institute and we 7
provide technicians all across the United States.
8 Were publicly held. Im the vice president and have 9
been with the company for 28 years. And I can tell you 10 that a lot of students benefit from the plant being 11 here, but I also can tell you that the significant 12 impact is energy, resource, the heavy equipment. There 13 are a lot of jobs to come by this new technology.
14 Nuclear energys not new, but obviously its rapidly 15 growing. Theres 104 nuclear power plants across the 16 United States and Ive just got to believe its a great 17 resource for this country.
18 We employ here in the Valley 600 employees.
19 So of the 600 employees that work here in the Valley, 20 Ive got to tell you energys very important. And so 21 we have a 28,000 square foot plant here in Avondale 22 that has right close to 3,000 students. We have 23 another campus up in Deer Valley, which is up in north 24
- Phoenix, that has right close to another 2,000 25
18 NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.
(202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 students, and about 200 employees, and then our home 1
office is here.
2 You look for efficiencies; and efficiencies 3
is what drives cost if youre a publicly held company 4
like us and you want to make sure that energy costs are 5
affordable. And Ive got to tell you, out of all 11 6
campuses of ours across the United States, Ive got to 7
tell you from an efficiency standpoint the Avondale 8
campus and the MMI campus are one of our most 9
profitable. And thats due to the energy costs that I 10 think were fortunate to have here. I attribute that a 11 lot to the Palo Verde plant.
12 So thank you very much.
13 JAY ROBINSON: Thank you. We do have an 14 additional person who would like to comment. Sharon 15 Hohman; is that correct?
16 SHARON HOHMAN: Yes, it is.
17 JAY ROBINSON: Good. And I had help with 18 that one, too.
19 SHARON HOHMAN: Thank you.
20 Thank you very much. I have not read or seen 21 anything that would take away from the comments I made 22 the last time we had the visit. I dont think I would 23 change anything except to reiterate.
24 I
too have been in the Valley as a
25

(202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 businessperson since 1980. Currently, I am the 1
Executive Director of the Southwest Valley Chamber of 2
Commerce, so I work with a lot of businesspeople. My 3
job is to encourage people to come to the area. My job 4
is to make people feel comfortable in the area. And I 5
believe that Palo Verde provides the energy we need.
6 We cant encourage more people if we do not have the 7
energy, and its absolutely critical to our growth.
8 And I would like to emphasize that one more 9
time, I have never felt unsafe living here or working 10 here. I watched it build. Ive watched it operate. I 11 think that Arizona Public Service does an incredible 12 job, excellent job, of operation. And I just want to 13 reiterate those comments and thank you for the 14 opportunity to be here and stress how important the 15 relicensing is. Thank you.
16 JAY ROBINSON: Thank you.
17 Is there anyone else whod like to make a 18 public comment at this time? So what well do is, like 19 we did this afternoon, well just -- since this meeting 20 is for public comments, well keep the meeting open for 21 a while. If you dont want to stay, theres no reason 22 for you to stay, but we will not -- were not closing 23 the meeting right now. Well keep it open for a while, 24 see if anybody else comes, and then well discuss when 25

(202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 well close it based on if we get any more people 1
wanting to make public comments. All right, thank you.
2 (A brief recess was taken.)
3 JAY ROBINSON: If I could ask everybody to 4
have a seat, well wrap up the meeting. Wow, that was 5
quick.
6 Once again Id like to thank everybody for 7
coming to the public meeting to take comments on the 8
Palo Verde Draft Environmental Impact Statement. Bear 9
with me for a minute; I have to read the email address 10 and the address for comments into the record.
11 So if you do want to submit comments, you 12 could submit them by email to:
13 PaloVerdeEIS@nrc.gov 14 Or you could submit them via regular mail to 15 the Chief Rulemaking and Directives Branch, Division of 16 Administrative Services, Office of Administration, Mail 17 Stop: TWB-5B01M U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 18 Washington, DC, 20555-0001.
19 Are there any other public comments at this 20 time? Okay, one more announcement, we do have public 21 feedback forms, so if you want to submit a comment on 22 the meeting please take one of these forms. It should 23 be double-sided, so all youve got to do is make your 24 comment, fold it up and drop it in the mailbox, and it 25
