Early Site Permit Application for the Clinch River Nuclear Site in Roane County, Tennessee Attachments: ML18171A190 Muscogee (Creek)Nation of Oklahoma.pdf Ms. Lowe-Zepeda, My name is Jennifer Davis and I am the lead archaeologist for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducting the review of the environmental effects of issuing the Tennessee Valley Authority an early site permit (ESP) for the proposed construction and operation of two or more small modular reactors (SMRs) at the Clinch River site in Oak Ridge, Roane County, Tennessee.

The NRC has completed its preliminary environmental review and has prepared a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for public comment. On April 20, 2018, the NRC sent you with a copy of the EIS on DVD (see attached file). As part of ongoing NHPA Section 106 consultation for this undertaking, I would like to follow up with your office to make sure your office received the DVD, and to find out if you have any questions, or comments.

The ESP application and review process makes it possible to evaluate and resolve safety and environmental issues related to siting potential future SMRs at the CRN Site. An ESP does not, however, authorize construction and operation of the SMRs. Such authorization would require a separate application by TVA to the NRC, necessitating additional NEPA and NHPA review. The comment period ends on July 13, 2018.
