August 1, 2019 Mr. Michael Gallagher Vice President, License Renewal and Decommissioning Exelon Nuclear 200 Exelon Way Kennett Square, PA 19348

SUBJECT:

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF THE DRAFT PLANT-SPECIFIC SUPPLEMENT 10, SECOND RENEWAL TO THE GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS REGARDING SUBSEQUENT LICENSE RENEWAL FOR PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION UNITS 2 AND 3 (EPID NO. L-2018-RNW-0013)

Dear Mr. Gallagher:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed the draft plant-specific Supplement 10, Second Renewal to NUREG-1437, Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (GElS), regarding the subsequent renewal of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-44 and DPR-56 for an additional 20 years of operation for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, respectively (Peach Bottom). Enclosed is a copy of the draft supplement and the associated Federal Register Notice of Availability. This notice advises the public that the draft supplement is publicly available at the NRCs public document room (PDR) or from the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/readingrm/adams.html. The ADAMS accession number for draft Supplement 10, Second Renewal, to the GElS is ML19210D453. In addition, draft Supplement 10, Second Renewal will be available to the public near the site at the following location:

Harford County Public Library: Whiteford Branch, 2407 Whiteford Rd, Whiteford, MD 21160.

As discussed in Chapter 5 of the draft supplement, the NRC staffs preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of subsequent license renewal for Peach Bottom are not so great that preserving the option of subsequent license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable. This recommendation is based on: (1) the analysis and findings in the GElS; (2) the Exelon Generation Company Environmental Report; (3) the NRC staffs consultation with Federal, State, Local, and Tribal government agencies; (4) the NRC staff's independent environmental review; and (5) the NRC staff's consideration of public comments.

A public meeting will be held to present an overview of the draft supplement and to accept public comment on the draft supplement. The meeting will be held on September 12, 2019, at the Peach Bottom Inn, 6085 Delta Road, Delta PA, 17314, and will convene at 6:00 p.m. An NRC meeting notice will be published to provide more details about this public meeting.

A separate Notice of Availability of the draft supplemental environmental impact statement will be placed in the Federal Register through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The 45-day public comment period end date is calculated from the date on which the EPA notice is published in the Federal Register.

Should you have any questions concerning the staffs environmental review of this subsequent license renewal application, please contact the Project Manager, David Drucker at 301-415-6223 or by e-mail at David.Drucker@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Eric R. Oesterle, Chief License Renewal Projects Branch Division of Materials and License Renewal Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-277 and 50-278
