Dear Christopher D. Wilson:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has prepared Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, Supplement 10, Second Renewal, Regarding Subsequent License Renewal for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, Supplement 1, Draft Report for Comment. This draft report is a supplement to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, Supplement 10, Second Renewal, Regarding Subsequent License Renewal for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Units 2 and 3, Final Report, issued in January 2020 (2020 FSEIS). Specifically, the draft supplement includes the NRC staffs evaluation of new information obtained since the issuance of the 2020 final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS). The NRC staff prepared the draft supplement in accordance with NRC regulations and Commission Legal Issuance (CLI)-22-02, CLI-22-03, and CLI-22-04, dated February 24, 2022.
The NRC staff has also prepared a Federal Register (FR) Notice of Availability to advise the public that the draft supplement is publicly available in the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) ML25111A147. This notice also announces the opportunity to request a hearing and to petition for leave to intervene limited to contentions based on new information in the draft supplement. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. In addition, a copy of the draft supplement will be available for public review near the site at the Harford County Public Library - Whiteford Branch, 2407 Whiteford Road Whiteford, MD 21160.

In the draft supplement and in the 2020 FSEIS, the NRC staffs preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of subsequent license renewal (SLR) for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 (Peach Bottom) are not so great that preserving the option of SLR for energy-planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable. The NRC staff based this preliminary recommendation on the analysis and findings in NUREG-1437, Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, the environmental report submitted by the applicant, as supplemented, the NRC staffs consultations with Federal, State, Tribal, and local government agencies, the NRC staffs independent environmental review, which is documented in the draft supplement and in the 2020 FSEIS, and the NRC staffs consideration of public comments received during scoping and on the draft of the 2020 FSEIS.
A separate Notice of Availability of the draft supplement will be published in the FR through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The 45-day public comment period end date is calculated from the date on which the EPA notice is published in the FR.
Should you have any questions concerning the NRC staffs environmental review of the Peach Bottom SLR application, please contact Kevin Folk via email at Kevin.Folk@nrc.gov.
