/License Renewal Process* If a Request for Hearing is Granted1. In the Safety Review, the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) conducts anindependent review of the application2. Findings from NRC region-based inspectors are used to inform the safety review7(-T:7l- !_i iLicense RenewalSafety PrinciplesThe regulatory process, continued into the extendedperiod of operation, is adequate to ensure that thecurrent licensing basis of all currently operating plantsprovides an acceptable level of safety, with thepossible exception of the detrimental effects of agingon certain systems, structures, and components, andpossibly a few other issues related to safety onlyduring the period of extended operation, andEach plant's current licensing basis is required to bemaintained during the renewal term.84

/Safety Review FocusSafety review focus is on the effects of aging on:-Safety-related systems, structures, and components(SSCs)-Non-safety related SSCs which, if they failed, couldaffect safety-related SSC functions-SSCs relied upon for compliance with regulations> Safety review is to determine if aging effects willbe effectively managed9Safety ReviewProcess>Technical review by NRC staff-Review application and supportingdocumentation-On-site audits-Issue Safety Evaluation Report>On-site inspections by NRC staff> Independent review by the AdvisoryCommittee on Reactor Safeguards105 Safety Review MilestonesApplication ReceivedNotice of Opportunity for HearingEnvironmental Scoping MeetingHearing Opportunity ClosesSER with Open ItemsACRS Subcommittee MeetingFinal SER IssuedACRS Full Committee MeetingApril 30, 2014June 18, 2014July 24, 2014August 18, 2014September 2015November 2015February 2016April 201611Environmental ReviewNational Environmental Policy Act(NEPA)-Informs Federal decision making-Public disclosure of environmentalimpacts and other considerations>NRC's Environmental Regulations10 CFR Part 51)Staff prepares an EnvironmentalImpact Statement126 Reviewing Areas13Environmental ImpactStatementStaff Evaluates Impacts toResources-Wildlife and Fish-Water and Air Resources-Historical or CulturalResources-Taxes, CommunityDevelopment,Environmental Justice-Human Health-Land Use147 Environmental Review(10 CFR Part 51)Scoping Process>Generic Environmental Impact Statementhttp://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/srl 437/>Site-specific Supplemental EnvironmentalImpact Statement)New and significant information on genericconclusions reached in the GElS15Waste Confidence> NRC Waste Confidence Rule (WC) addresses theenvironmental impacts of continued storage of spent fuelafter the licensed life (including renewal).> Consistent with Commission direction, Fermi 2 renewedlicense will not be issued until the issues related to wasteconfidence are appropriately addressed.> Revised WC Rule and Generic Environmental ImpactStatement is being developed by the WC Directorate, to becompleted in Fall 2014.* http://www.n rc.gov/waste/spent-fuel-storage/wcd.html168 Scoping and PublicInvolvementIWhat about your community should theNRC focus on in the EIS?)What local environmental issues shouldthe NRC examine?)What reasonable alternatives areappropriate for the area?17Role of Public Comments onEnvironmental Review9 Provide written,/By mail:V Website:V In person:Submitting Comments on theScope of the EnvironmentalReviewcomments:Chief, Rules, Announcements andDirectives BranchDivision of Administrative ServicesMailstop 3WFN-06A44MPU.S. Nuclear Regulatory CommissionWashington, DC 20555http://www.reaulations.gov,I J wDocket ID NRC-2014-010911545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland19i';.Environmental ReviewMilestonesApplication ReceivedNotice of Receipt and AvailabilityNotice of Opportunity for HearingNotice of Intent for ScopingEnvironmental Scoping MeetingPetition to Request for Hearing DueScoping Comments DueDraft SEIS IssuedDraft SEIS Public MeetingDraft SEIS Comments DueFinal SEIS IssuedApril 30, 2014May 12, 2014June 18, 2014June 30, 2014July 24, 2014August 18, 2014August 29, 2014June 2015July 2015August 2015February 20162010 Additional InformationEnvironmental Contact:-Leslie Perkins, (800) 368-5642, ext. 2375Safety Contact:-Daneira Mel6ndez-Col6n, (800) 368-5642, ext. 3301Documents located at:-Ellis Library & Conference Center, 3700 SouthCluster Road, Monroe, MIDocuments can be viewed at the NRC site:http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/applications/fermi.html2111
