Diablo Canyon Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation License Renewal Environmental Assessment Date: Thursday, September 5, 2024 2:41:00 PM Attachments: Draft EA for Diablo Canyon ISFSI license renewal.docx

John Fassell, Supervising Health Physicist California Department of Public Health

Dear Mr. Fassell,

Please find attached a draft Environmental Assessment (EA) prepared by the staff of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The draft EA provides the NRC staffs evaluation of the potential environmental impacts of Pacific Gas and Electrics (PG&E) request for the license renewal for the Diablo Canyon Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) in San Luis Obispo County, California.

PG&E is proposing a 40-year license renewal to continue to operate the ISFSI at Diablo Canyon until March 22, 2064. The proposed action does not include any increases to the total storage capacity or size of the ISFSI and thus includes no major construction or refurbishment of the site.

By this email, the NRC staff respectfully requests the review of the draft EA by your staff and by staff in other divisions of the CDPH, as appropriate, and the NRC staff appreciates any comments that result from this review. As noted in the watermark, this is a draft EA and is therefore a pre-decisional document. The draft EA should not be disclosed outside of CDPH without prior written NRC permission.

The NRC staff requests CDPHs comments on the draft EA by Monday, October 7, 2024. If you have any questions about this matter, please contact me by email at isaac.johnston@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, Isaac Johnston, Ph.D.
