Subject:
Comments Concerning Draft Plant-Specific Supplement 10 to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement Regarding Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station
Dear Sir:
This letter is being submitted in response to the NRC's request for comments concerning the draft plant-specific Supplement 10 to NUREG-1 437, "Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants," regarding the renewal of operating licenses for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS), Units 2 and 3, for an additional 20 years of operation.
Exelon Generation Company, LLC appreciates the opportunity to comment on this draft Supplement 10 to NUREG-1437. We agree that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for PBAPS are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable.
Specific comments on draft Supplement 10 to NUREG-1437 are provided in Attachment 1.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Very truly yours, Michael P. Gallagher Director, Licensing & Regulatory Affairs Mid-Atlantic Regional Operating Group
