SUBJECT:
PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3 - NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF 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, FINAL REPORT (EPID NUMBER: L-2024-SLE-0003)
(DOCKET NUMBERS: 50-277 AND 50-278)
Dear Christopher D. Wilson:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed the final supplement to the 2020 final supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS), issued as NUREG-1437, Supplement 10, Second Renewal, 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, Final Report, regarding Subsequent Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-44 and DPR-56 for an additional 20 years of operation for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 (Peach Bottom). The Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) accession number for the final supplement is ML25191A237. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/readingrm/adams.html.
As discussed in Chapter 4 of the final supplement, the NRC staffs recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of subsequent license renewal (SLR) for Peach Bottom are not so great that preserving the option of SLR for energy-planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable. This recommendation is based on: (1) the analysis and findings in NUREG-1437, Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, (2) the environmental report submitted by Exelon Generation Company, LLC (now Constellation Energy Generation, LLC), as supplemented by additional information; (3) the NRC staffs consultations with Federal, State, Tribal, and local government agencies; (4) the NRC staffs independent environmental review, which is documented in the 2020 final SEIS and final supplement thereto; and (4) the NRC staffs consideration of public comments.

The NRC staff has prepared a Federal Register Notice (FR) of Availability to advise the public that the final supplement is publicly available. A separate Notice of Availability of the final supplement will be placed in the FR through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The minimum 30-day public review period end date is calculated from the date on which the EPA notice is published in the FR. We expect both notices to be published on August 29, 2025.
Should you have any questions concerning the NRC staffs environmental review of this SLR application, please contact the Environmental Project Manager, Kevin Folk, by phone at 301-415-6944 or via email at Kevin.Folk@nrc.gov.
Sincerely, Stephen S. Koenick, Chief Environmental Project Management Branch 1 Division of Rulemaking, Environmental, and Financial Support Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Docket Nos. 50-277 and 50-278 cc: Listserv Signed by Koenick, Stephen on 08/21/25
