| The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff), representatives of PPL Susquehanna, LLC, and representatives of PPL Generation held a telephone conference call on July 19, 2007, to discuss and clarify PPL Generation's May 24 and June 13, 2007, letters regarding intent to file a combined license (COL) application for a new unit at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES) site. | | The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff), representatives of PPL Susquehanna, LLC, and representatives of PPL Generation held a telephone conference call on July 19, 2007, to discuss and clarify PPL Generations May 24 and June 13, 2007, letters regarding intent to file a combined license (COL) application for a new unit at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES) site. |
| NRC staff requested the conference call to obtain sufficient information to address cumulative impacts as described in 40 CFR 1508.7, adopted by NRC in 10 CFR 51.14b, and included in Regulatory Guide 4.2, Supplement 1, on page 4.2-S-6: | | NRC staff requested the conference call to obtain sufficient information to address cumulative impacts as described in 40 CFR 1508.7, adopted by NRC in 10 CFR 51.14b, and included in Regulatory Guide 4.2, Supplement 1, on page 4.2-S-6: |
| Cumulative impact is the impact on the environment which results from the incremental impact of the action when added to other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions regardless of what agency (Federal or non-Federal) or person undertakes such other actions. Cumulative impacts can result from individually minor but collectively significant actions taking place over a period of time. | | Cumulative impact is the impact on the environment which results from the incremental impact of the action when added to other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions regardless of what agency (Federal or non-Federal) or person undertakes such other actions.

| PPL Generation's letters of intent to file a COL made a new unit onsite a "reasonably foreseeable future action." Since PPL Generation submitted their letters of intent after the license renewal environmental site audit, the staff requested a conference call to address potential cumulative impacts should PPL Generation choose to proceed with an additional unit at the SSES site. Duane Filchner, Senior Engineer - Regulatory Affairs for PPL Susquehanna, coordinated involvement by PPL Susquehanna and PPL Generation representatives. | | PPL Generations letters of intent to file a COL made a new unit onsite a reasonably foreseeable future action.

| This call provided the staff with adequate information to address cumulative impacts related to a potential additional unit, as PPL Generation indicated in the May 24 and June 13 letters, or two additional units, as PPL Generation indicated was ultimately possible during the July 19 conference call. Should PPL Generation (or any other organization) proceed to file a COL, the staff would then perform a more-complete environmental review in the process of developing an environmental impact statement for the new unit(s). | | This call provided the staff with adequate information to address cumulative impacts related to a potential additional unit, as PPL Generation indicated in the May 24 and June 13 letters, or two additional units, as PPL Generation indicated was ultimately possible during the July 19 conference call.

| PPL Generation considered seven alternative sites before selecting land west of the current SSES plant (SSES site land west of Township Rd. T438) as the best candidate site for one or two potential new reactors. | | PPL Generation considered seven alternative sites before selecting land west of the current SSES plant (SSES site land west of Township Rd.

| PPL Generation will be performing due diligence on the site and on any future plans for that site. PPL Generation is analyzing applicable local and state permitting requirements for preliminary work, and will do so for future work should PPL Generation move forward on the project. | | PPL Generation will be performing due diligence on the site and on any future plans for that site. |
| At this point, PPL Generation has not selected a vendor for the new unit(s). The unit's (or units') systems and footprints will depend upon the reactor design PPL Generation ultimately chooses to pursue. Other plant systems - including cooling system selection - will also depend on the unit design chosen. The unit(s) will require river intake and outflow structures separate from the existing SSES facility. | | PPL Generation is analyzing applicable local and state permitting requirements for preliminary work, and will do so for future work should PPL Generation move forward on the project. |

The unit(s) will require river intake and outflow structures separate from the existing SSES facility. |
| New reactors at the site will only share transmission systems with the existing SSES. Currently, PPL Generation analysis indicates that existing transmission lines are sufficient to deliver energy from a future unit or units. The unit(s) will share no other systems with the existing SSES. The only other synergies between existing and potential future units will be in emergency planning. | | New reactors at the site will only share transmission systems with the existing SSES.

| At this point, PPL Generation has committed only to preliminary site work for a 3 rd and a potential 4 th reactor (beginning in August of 2007), and has yet to identify a joint venture partner for the potential new unit(s). PPL Generation does not plan to continue with the project in the absence of a joint venture partner. | | At this point, PPL Generation has committed only to preliminary site work for a 3rd and a potential 4th reactor (beginning in August of 2007), and has yet to identify a joint venture partner for the potential new unit(s).

| : 2. Description of potential unit cooling system PPL Generation indicated that the cooling system design of the unit would be dependent on which unit design PPL Generation ultimately selects, and may include either mechanical or natural draft cooling towers. NRC staff noted that a new unit would have to use some sort of cooling system other than once-through cooling under the Environmental Protection Agency 316(b) rules. Placement of a potential 4 th unit could influence PPL Generation's choice of a cooling system for the new unit(s). Regardless of the cooling system selected, the unit(s) would need new intake and discharge structures. | | : 2.

| PPL Generation noted that the Susquehanna River would be the unit's (or units') cooling water source, and indicated that consumptive use of water from the Susquehanna River would require approval from the Susquehanna River Basin Commission. PPL Susquehanna staff (Jerry Fields, Senior Environmental Scientist - Nuclear) indicated that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection would oversee impingement and entrainment issues. | | PPL Generation noted that the Susquehanna River would be the units (or units) cooling water source, and indicated that consumptive use of water from the Susquehanna River would require approval from the Susquehanna River Basin Commission.

| : 3. Interface with transmission system | | : 3. Interface with transmission system PPL Generation confirmed that a new unit or units would be able to connect directly to the existing transmission system without modifications to the existing system. Any potential enhancements would be minor. PPL Generation also indicated that a new transmission line proposed by PPL Electric Utilities and recently approved by PJM Interconnection (PJM; 500 kV, 150 miles from Susquehanna substation to Roseland, NJ, substation) is not related to a potential new unit or units. Any new units would require permission from PJM to use the new lines, and would be subject to a PJM system interconnect study. |

DISCUSSION
SUMMARY
FROM THE JULY 19, 2007 CONFERENCE CALL BETWEEN THE U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION, PPL SUSQUEHANNA, LLC AND PPL GENERATION REGARDING PPL GENERATIONS LETTER OF INTENT TO FILE A COMBINED LICENSE APPLICATION FOR A POTENTIAL NEW UNIT AT THE SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION SITE
Background:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff), representatives of PPL Susquehanna, LLC, and representatives of PPL Generation held a telephone conference call on July 19, 2007, to discuss and clarify PPL Generations May 24 and June 13, 2007, letters regarding intent to file a combined license (COL) application for a new unit at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES) site.
NRC staff requested the conference call to obtain sufficient information to address cumulative impacts as described in 40 CFR 1508.7, adopted by NRC in 10 CFR 51.14b, and included in Regulatory Guide 4.2, Supplement 1, on page 4.2-S-6:
Cumulative impact is the impact on the environment which results from the incremental impact of the action when added to other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions regardless of what agency (Federal or non-Federal) or person undertakes such other actions. Cumulative impacts can result from individually minor but collectively significant actions taking place over a period of time.
PPL Generations letters of intent to file a COL made a new unit onsite a reasonably foreseeable future action. Since PPL Generation submitted their letters of intent after the license renewal environmental site audit, the staff requested a conference call to address potential cumulative impacts should PPL Generation choose to proceed with an additional unit at the SSES site. Duane Filchner, Senior Engineer - Regulatory Affairs for PPL Susquehanna, coordinated involvement by PPL Susquehanna and PPL Generation representatives.
This call provided the staff with adequate information to address cumulative impacts related to a potential additional unit, as PPL Generation indicated in the May 24 and June 13 letters, or two additional units, as PPL Generation indicated was ultimately possible during the July 19 conference call. Should PPL Generation (or any other organization) proceed to file a COL, the staff would then perform a more-complete environmental review in the process of developing an environmental impact statement for the new unit(s).
The conference commenced at 10:05 A.M. with brief introductions.
Topics:
- 1. Overview of PPL Generations activities and plans related to a potential COL submittal in 2008 (information in this and subsequent sections provided by Terry Harpster, General Manager - Site Development, PPL Generation, unless otherwise noted.)
Enclosure 2
PPL Generation considered seven alternative sites before selecting land west of the current SSES plant (SSES site land west of Township Rd. T438) as the best candidate site for one or two potential new reactors.
PPL Generation will be performing due diligence on the site and on any future plans for that site.
PPL Generation is analyzing applicable local and state permitting requirements for preliminary work, and will do so for future work should PPL Generation move forward on the project.
At this point, PPL Generation has not selected a vendor for the new unit(s). The units (or units) systems and footprints will depend upon the reactor design PPL Generation ultimately chooses to pursue. Other plant systems - including cooling system selection - will also depend on the unit design chosen. The unit(s) will require river intake and outflow structures separate from the existing SSES facility.
New reactors at the site will only share transmission systems with the existing SSES. Currently, PPL Generation analysis indicates that existing transmission lines are sufficient to deliver energy from a future unit or units. The unit(s) will share no other systems with the existing SSES. The only other synergies between existing and potential future units will be in emergency planning.
At this point, PPL Generation has committed only to preliminary site work for a 3rd and a potential 4th reactor (beginning in August of 2007), and has yet to identify a joint venture partner for the potential new unit(s). PPL Generation does not plan to continue with the project in the absence of a joint venture partner.
- 2. Description of potential unit cooling system PPL Generation indicated that the cooling system design of the unit would be dependent on which unit design PPL Generation ultimately selects, and may include either mechanical or natural draft cooling towers. NRC staff noted that a new unit would have to use some sort of cooling system other than once-through cooling under the Environmental Protection Agency 316(b) rules. Placement of a potential 4th unit could influence PPL Generations choice of a cooling system for the new unit(s). Regardless of the cooling system selected, the unit(s) would need new intake and discharge structures.
PPL Generation noted that the Susquehanna River would be the units (or units) cooling water source, and indicated that consumptive use of water from the Susquehanna River would require approval from the Susquehanna River Basin Commission. PPL Susquehanna staff (Jerry Fields, Senior Environmental Scientist - Nuclear) indicated that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection would oversee impingement and entrainment issues.
- 3. Interface with transmission system PPL Generation confirmed that a new unit or units would be able to connect directly to the existing transmission system without modifications to the existing system. Any potential enhancements would be minor. PPL Generation also indicated that a new transmission line proposed by PPL Electric Utilities and recently approved by PJM Interconnection (PJM; 500 kV, 150 miles from Susquehanna substation to Roseland, NJ, substation) is not related to a potential new unit or units. Any new units would require permission from PJM to use the new lines, and would be subject to a PJM system interconnect study.
Conference concluded at 10:50 A.M. with no further questions from NRC reviewers.
