FINAL PLANT-SPECIFIC SUPPLEMENT 43 TO THE GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS REGARDING PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION


==Dear Ms. Sachs:==
==Dear Ms. Sachs:==
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed the final plant-specific Supplement 43 to NUREG-1437, "Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants" (GElS), regarding the renewal of Operating Licenses NPF-41, NPF-51 and NPF-74 for an additional 20 years of operation for the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. Enclosed is a copy of the final supplement and the associated Federal Register Notice of Availability.
 
The notice advises the public that the final supplement is publicly available at the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams/html. The accession number for the final Supplement 43 to the GElS is ML103560149.

As discussed in Section 9.4 of the final supplement, the NRC's recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for PVNGS are not great enough to deny the option of license renewal for energy-planning decision makers. This recommendation is based on (1) the analysis and findings in the GElS; (2) the Environmental Report submitted by Arizona Public Service Company (APS); (3) consultation with Federal, State and local agencies; (4) the NRC staff's own independent review; and (5) the NRC staff's consideration of public comments received during the scoping process and on the draft supplement.

Dear Ms. Sachs:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed the final plant-specific Supplement 43 to NUREG-1437, "Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants" (GElS), regarding the renewal of Operating Licenses NPF-41, NPF-51 and NPF-74 for an additional 20 years of operation for the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. Enclosed is a copy of the final supplement and the associated Federal Register Notice of Availability. The notice advises the public that the final supplement is publicly available at the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams/html. The accession number for the final Supplement 43 to the GElS is ML103560149.

As discussed in Section 9.4 of the final supplement, the NRC's recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for PVNGS are not great enough to deny the option of license renewal for energy-planning decision makers. This recommendation is based on (1) the analysis and findings in the GElS; (2) the Environmental Report submitted by Arizona Public Service Company (APS); (3) consultation with Federal, State and local agencies; (4) the NRC staff's own independent review; and (5) the NRC staff's consideration of public comments received during the scoping process and on the draft supplement.
