RULEMAKING ISSUE June 8, 1990

'(NEGATIVE CONSENT)

SECY-90-208 Egg:

The Commissioners-Eggg:

James M.. Taylor Executive Director for Operations Subiect:

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION RULEMAKING FOR LICENSE RENEMhL

Purpose:

To advise the Coenaission on the staff's proposed _ action.to publish an.= advance-notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) and notice of intent to prepare an accompanying generic environmental = impact statement (GEIS).

Background:

In SECY-90-021, dated January 17, 1990, the staff submitted a program plan and schedule for completion of-license _ renewal rulemaking.

This' schedule called for development of a rule on the license renewal technical and procedural requirements (10_ CFR 54) : and: a supporting _ change to 10 CFR151 to treat environmental issues associated with license renewal generically, to the extent possible, (thus limiting the-extent of the-environmental issues which need to be considered'in individual license-renewal-applications). :In SECY-90-16C

'+.e proposed 10 CFR"54 was provided for a,, oval _and it was also noted that the staff intended to submit the ANPR for 10 CFR'51 in the-near,-

future and to-publish both the proposed 10 --

'CFR 54 and the'ANPR for 10 CFR 51 as a g g 7 together for. comment"as is practicable.

.s The Commissioners-2 Discussion:.

Publication'of the enclosed AMPR and noticei 1

of intent-to prepare a-generic environmental

,i impact statement will provida-official-notice of the Commission'e' intent to= proceed with a rulemaking on Part.51 and~will invite advice

'[

and' recommendations on'all aspects of the rulemaking, including tho' preparation:of a' genericienvironmental impact statement to support-development of a rule.

The staff discussed its plans and approach for this rulemaking-in an informal consultation-with I

the Deputy. General' Counsel cf the~ Council on l

Environmental Quality.on May.14,-1990.

The

)

response; to. the staff's plans was favorable. =

q The advance notice _of proposed rulemaking, l

Enclosure,l',.provides information on the purpose-of the rulemaking, the role of the

-)

generic' environmental' impact statement, and=

-information on the; scope of and approach"to a

developing theLstatement., A number.of.

specific questions concerning procedural and substantive, matters are included to solicit advice and:reccamendations.

The' notice of I

intent, Enclosure 2, is brief and' directs the.

i reader to the. advance-notice for further information'. eThe staff has made several-modifications to the plans-and to terminology reported in SECY-90-021.. Specifically, the

'l workshop to be held in July.1990, prior't5.._

publishing;the draft.GEIS.for comment,-is to be held ~after the draft GEIS'is issued for-comment.

After.further consideration the

-l staff concluded'that a workshop would not likely produce additional significant information at this time, but would be more useful once a draft GEIS'was available for a

review.

The ANPR plus the' aggressive-approach taken to solicit:information-from federalr' state, and local officials, in scoying andipreparing the GEIS,.is expected.

to provide forta comprehensive scoping of the impact statement and resulting' rule' change prior to drafting the-GEIS.

The: term

l Introduction 4

A significant number of the licenses for the existing operating nuclear power plants are due to expire in the early part of the twe'nty-first century.

The NRC understands that the first two W'

's s

4

epplications for license renewal will be submitted in'1991 and

-anticipates that a significant percentage of existing plants will' submit applications for renewal of their operating license 10 to 20 years prior'to their expiration.

The NRC will shortly issue a proposed rule, 10 CFR Part 54, Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants, that establishes the I

requirements that an applicant for renewal of a nuclear power I

plant operating license must meet, the information that he must submit to the NRC for review so that the agency can detersdne whether these requirements have in fact been met, and the application procedures.

Apart from this Part 54 procedural and technical rulemaking, the j

NRC believes as a matter of sound policy that a rulemaking on 10 CFR Part 51 might'be pursued to generically address potential environmental impacts from relicensing and extended operation and, thereby, define the potential environmental impacts which-need-to be reviewed as part of the relicensing of individual-l nuclear power plants.

The-NRC is, therefore, undertaking a study

'i to assess which environmental impacts may occur, under what circumstances, and their possible level of significance.

The study and resulting changes to Part 51 will also provide the basis for developing a license renewal supplement to Regulatory 1

Guide 4.2,'" Preparation of Environmental Reports for Nuclear Power-Stations."

The NRC believes that there has been sufficient

\\;

experience with nuclear power plant operation, maintenance, refurbishment and associated environmental impacts to predict with some confidence the types and magnitude of environmental effects which may arise from renewal of operating licenses and q

resulting extended plant operation.

Form of Chances tc 10 CFR Part 51 Changes to Part 51 which will. generically address various potential environmental-impacts may take a variety of forms.

For some set of potential' environmental impacts it may be_possible to demonstrate.that the impacts will be nonexistent or insignificant.

Other types of impacts may be nonexistent or insignificant where certain conditions are met.

Some types of impacts may be described and enveloped generically.

The NRC is seeking the views of the public on the alternative approaches available for codifying these generic findings.

Part 51 already has several alternative methods for. consideration of specific types of environmental impacts.

Under one alternative, the Commission can make a finding in the-rule itself that an environmental subject need not be addressed by the applicant in a ER or by the NRC in an EA or EIS.

An example of L

e

(

,.e.-

.--,,e

. -,. - -,,. +, _,.,, - -. -

.-p-,.-

,,-..-,,.,.,--we+-,.,

.,,a y

,,,-g

6 this alternative is Paragraph 51.23, Temporary' storage of spent fuel after cessation of reactor operation-generic determination of no significant environmental impact.

Alternatively, the Commission could require that certain information,-set fourth in l

the rule itself, be incorporated into an applicants' ER.

The i

i drawback here is that this does not explicitly address the NRC's responsibilities in the individual license proceeding, and does I

not explicitly remove the subject fram-potential for litigation.

Another alternative is to set forth information which must be included in an ER (or EA or.EIS), together with the criteria under which an individual, plant-specific analysis must be done in lieu of incorporation of the information contained in the rule.

Paragraph 51.52, Environmental effects of-transportation of fuel and waste-Table S-4, is an example of-a generic determination of the environmental impacts of certain activities, which can'be adopted if specific conditions set out in the paragraph are met.

A final approach is to categorically eliminate the need for both the applicant and the NRC to address an issue.

Under this approach, the subject being categorically excluded would not be subject to litigation in individual license proceedings.

The basis for the conclusion is actually set out in the statement of considerations accompanying the rule change (as opposed to the first option discussed above, in which the

'a a

s

" finding" is actually part of the rule itself).

Paragraphs =

51.53, supplement to environmental report, and 51.95, Oupplement:

i to final environmental impact statement, which eliminate the need to consider need for power,' alternative energy sources, and' negate, the need to consider, at the operating licensing attge,-

s I

any aspect of the storage of spent fuel after cessation of j

reactor operation, are' examples of this approach.

u L

Generic Environmental Impact Statgment By means of the generic environmental impact statement, the NRC intends to identify the types-of environmental-impacts which may occur due to renewal of an individual nuclear power plant.

operating license, to assess if and under what conditions each type of impact would.be significant, and to summarise these-findings in a manner which can be codified in the agency's i

environmental protection regulations.

Thus, the " major federal action" is the decision whether to renew the license of an individual nuclear power plant.

However, since the NRC intends to-accomplish this task generically, the " major federal action" will be addressed in a generic fashion.

The analysis will encompass all operating light water power. reactors, and for each L

type of environmental impact, it will attempt to establish

8

. generic findings covering as many-plants as possible.

While plant and site specific information will be used in developing the generic findings, the NRC does not intend for the GEIS to be a compilation of individual plant environmental impact statements. -Generic findings for each type of impact are

~

L expected to provide the basis for how that impact will be handled in the rule.

When postulated, impacts are determined to have no

_ possibility of occurring or of being significant, they may be categorically excluded from consideration in the renewal of any operating. license.. Some impacts may be-found to be insignificant whenever a specified set of plant and site parameters fall within-certain values, other impacts may be generically determined to be significant but, because they are anticipated and well understood, it is reasonable to adopt tho' generic findings in individual environmental impact statements-without further analysis.

Other approaches to codification will be explored as the generic environmental impact statement develops.

The NRC believes that all reasonable alternatives to the proposed action would be bounded by the action of denying the renewal application.

Denial would lead to decommissioning of the nuclear i

systems of a plant and replacement of the generating capacity with either alternative generating c'apacity, alternative forms of L

l l

e v

4 9'

]

energy or conservstion.

Decisions on-these matters will be made by utilities on the basis of their understanding.of future requirements for generating capacity and the economics of-i t

technically viable alternatives.

Alternative generating capacity, which will be considered in the generic environmental impact = statement, includes conversion of a plant,to an alt enative' fuel; replacement with nuclear plants of standardised or advanced design; replacement with coal, oil or gas fired-4 capacity; and replacement with capacity using other forms of energy.

Alternatives to replacing generating capacity, such as energy conservation, and load management, will be considered in assessing the need for generating capacity.

s As environmental consequences are assessed, consideration will be given to the extent to which mitigating actions have been taken in the past and the extent to which there may be additional mitigating actions which might be taken in conjunction with license renewal.

The following proposed outline for the generic environmental impact statement reflects the current NRC staff view on the scope and' major topics to be dealt with in this>rulemaking.
