NRCs Regulatory Oversight NRC regulates commercial use of nuclear materials including nuclear power plants NRCs mission:

Protect public health and safety Promote common defense and security Protect the environment 6

Environmental Review Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) addresses issues common to all plants Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) addresses site-specific issues for Sequoyah Nuclear Plant license renewal Review proposed action (license renewal) and alternatives 7

How Impacts are Defined NRC-defined impact levels:

SMALL - Effects are not detectable or are so minor that they will neither destabilize nor noticeably alter any important attribute of the resource.

MODERATE - Effects are sufficient to alter noticeably, but not to destabilize, important attributes of the resource.

How Impacts are Defined

  • Special Status Species (Endanged Species Act)

- no effect

- may affect but not likely to adversely affect

- may affect and is likely to adversely affect

  • Cultural and Historic resources (National Historic Preservation Act)

- effects on historic properties

- disproportionally high and adverse impacts 9

Cumulative Impacts Overall impacts to environment including past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions Preliminary findings

- SMALL to MODERATE cumulative impacts for surface water resources

- MODERATE cumulative impacts for terrestrial resources and global climate change

- LARGE cumulative impacts for aquatic resources

- SMALL cumulative impacts in all other areas 10

Site-Specific Environmental Review of Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Resource Areas Impact Land Use & Visual Resources SMALL Air Quality & Noise SMALL Geological Environment SMALL Water Resources SMALL Terrestrial Resources SMALL Aquatic Resources SMALL Special Status Species and Habitats No effect Historic and Cultural Resources No adverse effect Socioeconomics SMALL Human Health SMALL Environmental Justice No disproportionally high and adverse impacts Waste Management SMALL 11
