- In connection with the proposed issuance of operating licenses for Units 2 and 3, the Final Environmental Statement was reviewed and it was determined that the Statement sets forth an adequate analysis and evaluation i
of the environmental impact of the proposed actions.
Nevertheless, this Addendum i
to the FES is issued in order to provide a progress report on the Station's continuing monitoring program and to update certain "need for power" information.
The information set forth in this Addendum is not of sufficient importance to warrant its circulation for comment, and'accordingly, th'e Addendum is being issued as a part of the Final Environmental Statement.

On the basis of the analysis and evaluation set forth in the Final Environmental Statement, as supplemented by the ma.terial in this Addendum, and af ter weighing the environmental, economic, technical, and other benefits of Oconee Nuclear Station Units 2 and 3 against environmental and other costs and considering available alternatives, it.is concluded that the findings in the FES are reaffirmed; 4
that the monitoring' programs have been developed and are incorporated as part of the Technical Specifications for the Oconee Station; and that the further actions called for under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and Appendix D to 10 CFR Part 50 are the issuance of operating licenses for Oconee Units 2 and 3, subject to the condition that the applicant i
shall continue and modify as necessary the comprehensive monitoring program described in Appendix B to operating License No. DPR-38 Technical Specifications for Unit 1 which will be made a part of any licenses issued for Units 2 and 3.
