SUBJECT:

NOTICE OF INTENT TO PREPARE AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT AND CONDUCT SCOPING PROCESS FOR PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3 (EPID NO. L-2018-RNW-0013)

Dear Mr. Gallagher:

By letter dated July 10, 2018, (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Package Accession No. ML18193A689), the Exelon Generation Company, LLC, (Exelon) submitted an application for subsequent license renewal of the Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-44 and DPR-56 for the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 (Peach Bottom) to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or staff). In support of the application and in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 51 and Part 54, Exelon also submitted an environmental report for Peach Bottom.

This letter provides information related to the NRC staff's environmental review of the application.

The NRC staff has prepared a Notice of Intent advising the public that the NRC intends to gather information necessary to prepare a plant-specific supplement to the NRCs Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (NUREG-1437),

related to the review of the application for the subsequent renewal of the Peach Bottom operating licenses. Enclosed is a copy of the Notice of Intent, which has been forwarded to the Office of the Federal Register for publication.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.28, Exelon is invited to participate in the environmental scoping process.

As discussed in the enclosed notice, the NRC staff is providing the public with the opportunity to participate in an environmental scoping meeting to be held on September 25, 2018. The meeting will be held at the Peach Bottom Inn, 6085 Delta Road, Delta, Pennsylvania 17314.

The meeting will be held from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., as necessary. There will also be a one hour opportunity preceding the meeting for the public to meet informally with NRC staff and to register to speak. The NRC will present an overview of the safety and environmental review processes and describe how these processes will be implemented for the review of the Peach Bottom subsequent license renewal application. Next, members of the public will be provided an opportunity to provide comments.

If you have any questions on this matter, please contact Mr. Drucker by telephone at 301-415-6223 or via e-mail at David.Drucker@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
