SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF THE FINAL PLANT-SPECIFIC SUPPLEMENT 58 TO THE GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS REGARDING RIVER BEND STATION, UNIT 1 (EPID NO. L-2017-LNE-0027)
Dear Mr. Maguire:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed the final plant-specific Supplement 58 to NUREG-1437, Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (GElS), regarding the renewal of operating license NPF-47 for an additional 20 years of operation for River Bend Station, Unit 1. Enclosed is a copy of the final supplement and the associated Federal Register Notice of Availability. This notice advises the public that the final supplement is publicly available at the NRC public document room or from the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. The Accession Number for final Supplement 58 is ML18310A072. In addition, a paper copy of Supplement 58 will be available to the public at the West Feliciana Parish Library, 5114 Burnett Road, St.
Francisville, Louisiana 70775.
As discussed in Chapter 5 of the final supplement, the recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for River Bend Station, Unit 1, are not great enough to deny the option of license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers. This recommendation is based on: (1) the analysis and findings in the GElS; (2) review of the environmental report submitted by Entergy Operations, Inc.; (3) consultation with Federal, State, Tribal and local agencies; (4) the NRC staff's independent review; and (5) the NRC staff's consideration of public comments received during the scoping process and on the draft supplement.
A separate Notice of Availability of the final supplement will be placed in the Federal Register through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Mr. David Drucker, Senior Project Manager, for the environmental review of the River Bend Station, Unit 1, license renewal application, by telephone at 301-415-6223 or by e-mail at David.Drucker@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/
