II. Discussion

The NRC is issuing for public comment draft Supplement 61 to the GEIS for

License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, regarding the proposed renewal of

Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-58, for an additional 20 years of operation

for Perry Plant. Draft site-specific Supplement 61 to the GEIS includes the preliminary

analysis that evaluates the environmental impacts of the proposed action and

alternatives to the proposed action. The NRC staff's preliminary recommendation is that

the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Perry Plant are not so great

4 that preserving the option of license renew al for energy-planning decisionmakers would

be unreasonable.
