Abstract
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) prepared this supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) in response to Energy Harbor Nuclear Corp.'s application to renew the operating license for Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1 (Perry Plant), for an additional 20 years. Since submittal of the license application, the direct and indirect transfer of control of Perry Plant has been transferred to Vistra Operations Company, LLC. This SEIS evaluates the environmental impacts of the proposed action and alternatives to the proposed action. Alternatives considered include: (1) natural gas-fired combined-cycle, (2) renewable and natural gas combination, and (3) not renewing the operating license (the no-action alternative). The NRC staff's preliminary recommendation is that Perry Plant license renewal is a reasonable option for energy -planning decision-makers. The NRC is making this preliminary recommendation after carrying out the following activities:
- examined the analysis and findings in NUREG-1437
- reviewed the information provided in the applicant's environmental report
- consulted with other Federal, State, and local agencies and Native American Tribes
- conducted an independent evaluation of the issues during the site audit
- considered the public comments received for the review (during the scoping process)
- evaluated new and significant information
