April 10,1986 Docket No.'50-219 Mr. P. B. Fiedler Vice President and Director Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Post Office Box 388 Forked River, New Jersey' 08731
Dear Mr. Fiedler:
SUBJECT:
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE FULL TERM OPERATING LICENSE (TAC NO. 52336)
Re: Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station The NRC staff has performed an assessment of the Final Environmental-Statement (FES) dated December 1974.
In a letter dated November 5, 1982, you were requested to review the existing FES to determine what updating of information is necessary as part of the preparation for' conversion of the Provisional Operating License for Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (Oyster Creek) to a Full Term Operating License (FTOL). You responded to this request by letters dated December 21, 1982, March 21, 1983; and April 2, 1984, which presented your detailed review of the FES upon which you stated that your review did not find any significant changes that would adversely affect the conclusions in the FES.
The NRC staff has evaluated the effects of continued operation of the Oyster Creek facility and reexamined the impacts initially presented in the FES and your submittals. This review, which is documented in the enclosed Environmental Assessment, has not led to the identification of any significant new environmental impacts or changes from those identified previously in the FES with respect to the proposed FTOL for Oyster Creek.
The NRC staff has determined, based on the additional information you have provided, that (1) there are no new impacts that differ significantly from those evaluated in the FES, there are no substantial changes in the proposed actions relevant to environmental concerns and there are no significant new circumstances or information relevant to environmental concerns bearing on the proposed action or its impact and, thus, issuance of a supplement to the FES is not required under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); and (2) the conclusion on page 10-10 of the FES as applied to Oyster Creek is still valid in that (a) the benefits derived from the continued operation of Oyster Creek exceed the actual or expected environmental costs of Oyster Creek and (b) the staff recommends Oyster Creek be issued a full term operating license.
