II. Discussion The NRC staff is issuing for public comment draft Supplement 1 to NUREG-2183. When a final environmental impact statement (FEIS) has been prepared in connection with the issuance of a construction permit for a production or utilization facility, the NRC staff is required to prepare a supplement to the FEIS on the construction permit in connection with any issuance of an operating license for that facility in accordance with paragraph 51.95(b) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

Draft Supplement 1 to NUREG-2183 updates the prior environmental review by the NRC staff for the SHINE facility construction permit. This supplement only covers matters that differ from or that reflect significant new information concerning matters discussed in NUREG-2183. Draft Supplement 1 to NUREG-2183 includes the NRC staffs preliminary analysis of the environmental impacts of the proposed action of deciding whether to issue a license to SHINE to operate the SHINE facility for a period of 30 years. After weighing the environmental, economic, technical, and other benefits against environmental and other costs, the NRC staffs preliminary recommendation, unless safety issues mandate otherwise, is that the operating license be issued as requested.

III. Request for Comment and Public Meeting The NRC staff will hold a public meeting as an online webinar and teleconference to present an overview of its preliminary analysis and to receive comments on draft Supplement 1 to NUREG-2183. A court reporter will transcribe all 4

comments received during the public meeting and the transcript will be made publicly available. To be considered, comments must be provided either at the transcribed public meeting or in writing, as discussed in the ADDRESSES section of this document.
