DPR-63 and NPF-69 to the Nine MilePoint Nuclear Station, LLC (the licensee), the operator of the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station (NMP), Units 1 and 2. Renewed Facility Operating Li cense No. DPR-63 authorizes operation ofNMP, Unit 1, by the licensee at reactor core power levels not in excess of 1850 megawatts thermal, in accordance with the provisions of the NMP renewed license and its Technical Specifications. Renewed Facility Operating Li cense No. NPF-69 authorizes operation of NMP,Unit 2, by the licensee at reactor core power levels not in excess of 3467 megawatts thermal, in accordance with the provisions of the NMP renewed license and its Technical Specifications.This notice also serves as the record of decision for the renewal of Facility OperatingLicense Nos. DPR-63 and NPF-69 for NMP, Units 1 and 2. As discussed in the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS) for NMP, dated May 2006, the Commission considered a range of reasonable alternatives that included generation from coal, natural gas, oil, wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal, wood waste, municipal solid waste, other biomass-derived fuels, delayed retirement, utility-sponsored conservation, a combination ofalternatives, and a no-action alternative. This range of alternatives was discussed in the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal, Supplement 24 regarding NineMile Point Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2.After weighing the environment al, economic, technical and other benefits of the facilityagainst environmental costs and considering available alternatives, the Commission found that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal would be unreasonable. The Commission also has taken all practicable measures within its jurisdiction to avoid or minimize environmental harm in its decision to renew Operating License Nos. DPR-63 and NPF-69. No license conditions are imposed in connection with mitigation measures.NMP, Units 1 and 2, are located on approximately 900 acres along the shore of LakeOntario, Oswego County, New York.
