SUMMARY

OF PUBLIC MEETINGS ON THE DRAFT SUPPLEMENTALENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT REGARDING OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION LICENSE RENEWAL REVIEW (TAC NO.

MC 7625)On Wednesday, July 12, 2006, members of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)staff held public meetings in Toms River, New Jersey, concerning the staff's environmental review of the application submitted by AmerGen Energy Co., LLC. for renewal of Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station's (OCNGS) operating license. The purpose of the meetings was toprovide the public with an opportunity to comment on the draft supplemental environmentalimpact statement (DSEIS) which was issued in June 9, 2006. The public meetings were held at the Toms River Quality Inn, in Toms River, New Jersey. Formal presentations were made by the NRC staff and the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) staff.The DSEIS is a plant-specific supplement for OCNGS to the

?Generic Environmental ImpactStatement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants" (NUREG-1437). The NRC staff describedthe overall license renewal process, provided a description of the National Environmental Policy Act review process, and discussed the environmental requirements outlined in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 51 (10 CFR Part 51). The NRC staff also descri bed thepreliminary results of their analyses. The environmental impacts of continued operation and the no-action alternative were predicted to be SMALL in all areas. The impacts of alternatives were predicted to have impacts in some environmental aspects that could reach MODERATE or LARGE significance.After the formal presentations were given by the NRC staff, members of the public were invitedto provide comments. Approximately 100 people attended the two sessions. Attendees included members of the public, representatives of the NRC, representatives of state and localgovernment, non-profit organizations, Exelon, AmerGen, and the news media.In an effort to improve communication and increase interaction with members of the public, theNRC staff conducted an open house for one hour before each meeting and encouraged thepublic to submit meeting feedback forms. The staff provided displays and brochures and met with members of the public to answer questions about the proposed renewal of the Oyster Creek operating license. A combined listing of attendees for both sessions is provided in Enclosure 1. Enclosure 2 is acopy of the meeting handouts. Enclosures 3 and 4 contain the official corrected transcripts for the afternoon and evening meetings, respectively. Enclosure 5 contains a copy of the slides used during the NRC's presentation. The closing date to accept comments on the Oyster Creek DSEIS is September 8, 2006. TheNRC staff will consider all comments on the Oyster Creek DSEIS and make any necessaryrevisions to the document prior to issuing its final supplemental environmental impact statement, scheduled for January 2007.
