the probability or consequences of 

accidents or change the types of 

effluents released offsite. Because the 

proposed action would extend the 

operating license by 90 days, which 

represents only a small fraction of the 

40-year operating life considered in 

NUREG–0498, there would be no 

significant increase in the amount of 

any effluent released or waste generated, 

and no significant increase in 

occupational or public radiation 

exposure. The additional quantities of 

effluents and waste generated during the 

proposed 90-day period of extension 

would be nominal and in accordance 

with current operating requirements and 

regulatory limits. Therefore, the NRC 

staff concludes that there would be no 

significant radiological or nonradiological environmental impacts 

associated with the proposed action. 

The proposed action would have no 

effect on air pollutant emissions or 

ambient air quality. Therefore, the 

proposed action would have no 

significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

As an alternative to the proposed 

action, the NRC staff considered denial 

of the amendment request (i.e., the ‘‘noaction’’ alternative). Denial of the 

amendment request would result in 90 

fewer days of operation because the 

FPOL would expire on its current 

expiration date of November 9, 2035. 

Therefore, there would be no change in 

current environmental impacts. 

Accordingly, the environmental impacts 

from the proposed action and the noaction alternative would be similar. 

Alternative Use of Resources 

There are no unresolved conflicts 

concerning alternative uses of available 

resources under the proposed action. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

The NRC staff did not enter into 

consultation with any other Federal 

agencies or persons regarding the 

environmental impact of the proposed 

action. However, in accordance with 10 

CFR 50.91, ‘‘Notice for public comment; 

State consultation,’’ the licensee 

provided copies of its application to the 

State of Tennessee. The NRC staff 

consulted with the State of Tennessee 

on November 1, 2024, regarding its 

proposed determination of no 

significant hazards consideration, and 

the State had no comments. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

TVA requested a license amendment 

to revise the expiration date of the Watts 

Bar, Unit 1, license such that it would 

expire 40 years from the date of 

issuance of the FPOL, as permitted by 

10 CFR 50.51. The proposed action is in 

accordance with the licensee’s 

application dated April 17, 2024. 

Consistent with 10 CFR 51.21, the 

NRC conducted an environmental 

review of the proposed action and, in 

accordance with 10 CFR 51.32(a)(4), this 

FONSI incorporates the EA in Section II 

of this document by reference. As stated 

earlier, the NRC staff concludes that the 

proposed action will not have a 

significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. Accordingly, the 

NRC staff has determined an 

environmental impact statement for the 

proposed action is not warranted. 

This FONSI and related 

environmental documents are available 

for public inspection online in the 

ADAMS Public Documents collection at 

https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/

access to ADAMS or who encounter

II. Discussion 

On June 11, 2015, WEC submitted an 

application to renew and amend export 

license XR169/01 to: (1) export nuclear 

equipment and components covered 

under part 110 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), appendix 

A, to be used at the Sanmen Nuclear 

Power Plant (NPP) Units 1–4 and 

Haiyang NPP Units 1–4, located in the 

People’s Republic of China, for a total of 

four units at each site (the application 

expanded the scope of the export to 

include Units 3 and 4 at each site, 

whereas previously only Units 1 and 2 

were included); (2) update the language 

on the requested license to include 

paragraphs (10)–(11) of appendix A to 

10 CFR part 110; (3) delete Stone & 

Webster Asia, Inc. from ‘‘Other Parties 

to Export’’ and replace it with its new 

legal name, CB&I Stone & Webster Asia, 

Inc.; (4) update the licensee’s address; 

(5) change the licensee point of contact; 

and (6) extend the license date of 

expiration from July 23, 2015 to July 23, 

2035. 

In accordance with 10 CFR 110.70(b), 

the NRC is providing notice of the 

receipt of the application; providing the 

opportunity to submit written 

comments concerning the application; 

and providing the opportunity to 

request a hearing or petition for leave to 

intervene, for a period of 30 days after 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. A hearing request or petition 

for leave to intervene must include the 

information specified in 10 CFR 

110.82(b). Any request for hearing or 

petition for leave to intervene shall be 

served by the requestor or petitioner in 

accordance with 10 CFR 110.89(a), 

either by delivery, by mail, or filed with 

the NRC electronically in accordance 

with the NRC’s E-Filing rule (72 FR 

49139; August 28, 2007, as amended at 

77 FR 46562; August 3, 2012). Detailed 

guidance on electronic submissions is 

located in the ‘‘Guidance for Electronic 

Submissions to the NRC’’ (ADAMS

instances in which the participant, or its 

counsel or representative, already holds 

an NRC issued digital ID certificate). 

Based upon this information, the 

Secretary will establish an electronic 

docket for the hearing in this proceeding 

if the Secretary has not already 

established an electronic docket.
