April 3, 2019 Mr. J. W. Shea Vice President, Nuclear Licensing Tennessee Valley Authority 1101 Marker Street, LP 1G-C Chattanooga, TN 37402-2801

SUBJECT:

NOTIFICATION OF THE ISSUANCE OF THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE EARLY SITE PERMIT APPLICATION FOR THE CLINCH RIVER NUCLEAR SITE IN ROANE COUNTY, TENNESSEE

Dear Mr. Shea:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed NUREG-2226, Environmental Impact Statement for an Early Site Permit (ESP) at the Clinch River Nuclear Site, Final Report.

The final environmental impact statement (EIS) focuses on the impacts of building and operating two or more small modular reactors at the Clinch River Nuclear (CRN) Site near Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Nashville District, is a cooperating agency on the final EIS, which was prepared in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 51, the NRCs regulations that implement the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended.

Enclosed is a copy of the notice of availability of the final EIS being sent to the Office of the Federal Register. A separate notice regarding the final EIS will be placed in the Federal Register through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency which is anticipated to be published on April 12, 2019. For your convenience, a readers guide is also enclosed which contains a DVD with electronic versions of Volumes 1 and 2 of the final EIS. The readers guide is a detailed brochure to facilitate your understanding of the proposed action and its potential environmental impacts.

The final EIS is also available through the publicly available records component of the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under Accession Nos.

ML19073A099 and ML19073A109. In addition, the final EIS can be found online on the NRC CRN Site Web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/esp/clinch-river.html#feis.

As discussed in Section 10.6 of the final EIS, the NRC staffs recommendation is that the ESP should be issued. This recommendation is based on: (1) the ESP application and supplemental information submitted by TVA; (2) consultation with Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies; (3) the review teams independent review; (4) the NRC staff consideration of public comments; and (5) the assessments summarized in this EIS, including the potential mitigation measures identified in the ER and in this EIS. In addition, in making its recommendation, the NRC staff has concluded that none of the alternative sites considered is obviously superior to the proposed CRN Site.

J. Shea 2 If you have any questions concerning the NRC staffs environmental review of this ESP application, please contact Ms. Tamsen Dozier at (301) 415-2272 or by e-mail at Tamsen.Dozier@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
