Environmental Review

NUREG-1437, Supplement 63, "Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants: Regarding License Renewal of Clinton Power Station, Unit 1, Final Report" was made publicly available on August 1, 2025. The final supplemental environmental impact statement documents the NRC staff's review of the environmental impacts of license renewal for Clinton Power Station Unit 1. The final supplemental environmental impact statement was prepared in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51 and documents the NRC staff's analysis that considers and weighs the environmental effects of the proposed action (license renewal) and the environmental impacts of alternatives to the proposed action. It also includes the NRC staff’s recommendation regarding the proposed action: The NRC staff's recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Clinton Power Station are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy-planning decision-makers would be unreasonable.
