NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-387 AND 50-388; NRC-2008-0246]


PPL Susquehanna, LLC, Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 
and 2; Notice of Availability of the Final Supplement 35 to the Generic 
Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, 
Regarding the License Renewal of Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, 
Units 1 and 2

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC, Commission) has published a final plant-specific supplement to 
the ``Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of 
Nuclear Plants (GEIS)'', NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal of operating 
licenses NPF-14 and NPF-22 for an additional 20 years of operation for 
the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 (SSES). SSES is 
located on the western shore of the Susquehanna River in Salem 
Township, Pennsylvania. SSES is 5 miles north of the Borough of 
Berwick, 20 miles southeast of Wilkes-Barre, and 50 miles northwest of 
Allentown. Possible alternatives to the proposed action (license 
renewal) include no action and reasonable alternative energy sources.
    As discussed in Section 9.3 of the final Supplement 35, based on: 
(1) The analysis and findings in the GEIS; (2) the Environmental Report 
submitted by PPL Susquehanna, LLC; (3) consultation with Federal, 
State, and local agencies; (4) the NRC staff's own independent review; 
and (5) the NRC staff's consideration of public comments, the 
recommendation of the staff is that the adverse environmental impacts 
of license renewal for SSES are not so great that preserving the option 
of license renewal for energy-planning decision makers would be 
unreasonable.
    The final Supplement 35 to the GEIS is publicly available at the 
NRC Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, 11555 
Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852, or from the NRC's Agencywide 
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). The ADAMS Public 
Electronic Reading Room is accessible at http://adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.htm. The Accession Number for the final Supplement 35 to the 
GEIS is ML090700454. Persons who do not have access to ADAMS, or who 
encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, should 
contact the NRC's PDR reference staff by telephone at 1-800-397-4209, 
or 301-415-4737, or by e-mail at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#6a1a0e182a041809440d051c"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="cabaaeb88aa4b8a9e4ada5bc">[email protected]</span></a>. In addition, the McBride 
Memorial Library, located at 205 Chestnut St., Berwick, PA 18603, and 
the Mill Memorial Library, located at 495 East Main Street, Nanticoke, 
PA 18634, have agreed to make the final supplement available for public 
inspection.
