Preliminary Site Site-Specific Specific Results of the Environmental Review for Braidwood Station License Renewal
Meeting Background Exelon has applied to renew the Braidwood operating licenses.
The NRC:
is reviewing that application.
is reviewing the environmental impact of license renewal.
has developed preliminary results of that review review.
wants your comments on those results.

Purpose and Need f Proposed for P d Federal F d l Action A i
- The proposed federal action is issuance of renewed licenses for Braidwood Station.
- The p purpose p and need is to p provide a p power generation option beyond the current license to meet future system generating needs to be determined by energy-planning decision makers.
- The NRC does not have a role in the energy-planning l i d decisions i i off state regulators l and d utility ili officials.

Environmental Review Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) addresses issues common to all plants Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) addresses site-specific issues for Braidwood Station (Braidwood) license renewal Review proposed action (license renewal) and alternatives 9

NO NO Adopt GEIS Conclusion SEIS No Further Analysis 10
How Impacts are Quantified NRC NRC-defined defined impact levels:
SMALL - Effects are not detectable or are so minor that they will neither destabilize nor noticeably alter an important attribute of the resource.
MODERATE - Effects are sufficient to alter noticeably but not to destabilize, noticeably, destabilize important attributes of the resource.
LARGE - Effects are clearly noticeable and are sufficient to destabilize important attributes of the resource.
11
How Impacts are Defined
- Special Status Species no effect may affect but not likely to adversely affect may affect and is likely to adversely affect
- Cultural and Historic resources effects on cultural and historic resources

Impingement and Entrainment I
Impacts t on Aquatic A ti Resources R
Impingement of the State-endangered pallid shiner may create a noticeable effect on this species population in Illinois.
Impacts from larval entrainment would be noticeable ti bl ffor llow population l ti species i ((e.g., Percina P i spp., darters, and pallid shiner).
Exelon E l h has mitigation iti ti measures iin th the B Braidwood id d NPDES permit and engineered-and-operational controls.
controls 16
Thermal Impacts on Aquatic Resources Under Clean Water Act, the cooling pond is considered by the State of Illinois as a wastewater treatment facility.
facility Based on the information on fish kills, the thermal impacts to the cooling pond aquatic community are noticeable and adverse.
Exelon has consulted with experts for mitigation and concluded that there are no practical or simple p solutions that could p prevent the occurrence of fish die-offs at Braidwood Lake.
17
Continued Co t ued Sto Storage age Rule ue Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) Continued Storage (CS) Rule addresses management of spent fuel after the renewal term Braidwood SEIS incorporates conformal environmental impacts from CS GEIS (NUREG-2157) and Rule (10 CFR 51.23)
Impacts of onsite storage of SNF are addressed in CS GEIS and Rule Radiological impacts of offsite SNF and high-level waste disposal are addressed in 10 CFR 51 18
Alternatives Alternative energy sources analyzed New generation (Coal, Natural Gas, Nuclear)
Combination of alternatives (Wind, Gas, and Solar)
Purchased electrical power Other considered but dismissed alternatives (e.g., oil, energy efficiency and conservation, biomass, fuel cells)
No action alternative 19
Preliminary Conclusion The NRC staffs preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Braidwood Station are not so great that preserving i ththe option ti off lilicense renewall for energy-planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable.
