For Your Information - Commonwealth of Massachusetts - EA and FONSI for Pilgrim Emergency Planning
Dear Ms. Phillips:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuance of exemptions that would permit the licensee to reduce its emergency planning (EP) activities at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (Pilgrim). The licensee is seeking exemptions that would eliminate the requirements for the licensee to maintain offsite radiological emergency plans and reduce some of the onsite EP activities based on the reduced risks at Pilgrim, which is permanently shut down and defueled. However, requirements for certain onsite capabilities to communicate and coordinate with offsite response authorities would be retained. In addition, offsite EP provisions would still exist through State and local government use of a comprehensive emergency management plan process, in accordance with the Federal Emergency Management Agencys (FEMAs) Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101, Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans. The proposed action is in response to exemption application dated July 3, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18186A635).
In accordance with 10 CFR 51.21, the NRC staff is considering issuing an environmental assessment (EA) that analyzes the environmental effects of the proposed action. Based on the results of this EA, and in accordance with 10 CFR 51.31(a), the NRC is considering determining not to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for the proposed licensing action, and issuing a finding of no significant impact (FONSI).
Thank you Scott P. Wall, LSS BB, BSP Senior Project Manager Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation 301.415.2855 Scott.Wall@nrc.gov
