SUMMARY

OF PUBLIC MEETINGS CONDUCTED TO DISCUSS THE DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT RELATED TO THE REVIEW OF THE CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION (TAC NO. ME0278)

On Tuesday, June 28, 2011, members of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff held public meetings in Crystal River, Florida, concerning the staffs environmental review of the application submitted by Florida Power Corporation for renewal of the Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant (CR-3) operating license. The purpose of the meetings was to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on the draft supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) which was issued in May 2011. The public meetings were held at the Plantation Inn in Crystal River, Florida.

The draft SEIS is a plant-specific supplement for CR-3 to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (NUREG-1437). The NRC staff described the overall license renewal process, provided a description of the National Environmental Policy Act review process, and discussed the environmental requirements outlined in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 51 (10 CFR Part 51). The NRC staff also described the preliminary results of their analyses. The environmental impacts of continued operation were predicted to be small in all areas with the exception of aquatic resources which has small to moderate impacts. The impacts of alternatives (including the no-action alternative) were predicted to have impacts in at least some environmental aspects that could reach moderate or large significance.

After the formal presentations were given by the NRC staff, members of the public were invited to provide comments. Approximately 80 people attended the two sessions. Attendees included members of the public, representatives of the NRC and Progress Energy, and the news media.

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 and encouraged the public to submit meeting feedback forms. The staff provided displays and brochures and met with members of the public to answer questions about the proposed renewal of CR-3.

A combined listing of attendees for both sessions is provided in Enclosure 1. Enclosure 2 is a copy of the meeting handouts provided during the public meeting open house, including the agenda. The official transcripts for both meetings and any written comments submitted during the meetings are publicly available at the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852, or from the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). The ADAMS Public Electronic Reading Room is accessible at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. The transcripts for the afternoon and evening meetings are listed under Accession Nos. ML111940286, and ML111940362, respectively. A copy of the slides used during the NRCs presentation is also available in ADAMS under Accession No. ML11180A275. Persons who do not have access to ADAMS, or who encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, should contact the NRCs PDR reference staff by telephone at 1-800-397-4209, or 301-415-4737, or by e-mail at pdr.resource@nrc.gov.

The comment period for the CR-3 draft SEIS ends on July 25, 2011. The NRC staff will consider all comments on the CR-3 draft SEIS and make any necessary revisions to the document prior to issuing its final SEIS.
