Abstract

In January 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff issued the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, Supplement 10, Second Renewal, Regarding Subsequent License Renewal for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Units 2 and 3 (Peach Bottom), Final Report (the 2020 FSEIS). The staff prepared that document as part of its environmental review of the Exelon Generation Company, LLC (now Constellation Energy Generation, LLC) application to renew the operating licenses for Peach Bottom for an additional 20 years. That document included the staff’s evaluation of the environmental impacts of license renewal and alternatives to license renewal and the staff's recommendation that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Peach Bottom are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable.

This document is a draft supplement to the 2020 FSEIS. It includes the staff’s evaluation of new information obtained since the issuance of the 2020 FSEIS. This information includes the new and revised environmental issues and impact determinations contained in the NRC’s 2024 fina rule revising its environmental protection regulation, Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 51, "Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions," and Revision 2 of NUREG-1437, "Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants." The NRC staff also considered any new and significant information with respect to generic (i.e., Category 1) environmental issues and determinations.
