Administrative Judges May 7, 2013 Page 2 Entergys licenses cannot be renewed unless and until the NRC Staff reviews Entergys completed SAMA analyses and either incorporates the result of these reviews into the FSEIS or, in the alternative, modifies the FSEIS to provide a valid reason for recommending the renewal of the licenses before the analysis of potentially cost-effective SAMAs is complete and for not requiring the implementation of cost-beneficial SAMAs.
NL-13-075 also addresses certain statements by the Commission in its December 22, 2011 ruling on Entergys Petition for Review of that same decision. The Commission noted that in granting NYSs motion, the Board was careful not to require the Staff to impose the cost-beneficial SAMAs as a condition for license renewal. Rather, it would be reasonable for the Staff to further explain in the FSEIS why it believes the cost-beneficial SAMAs are appropriately excluded from further consideration in license renewal, and whether the Staff believes that any of the cost-beneficial SAMAs may warrant further consideration as a safety matter outside of license renewal.
