II. Discussion

    The NRC is issuing for public comment draft Supplement 15, Second 
Renewal, to the GEIS for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, 
regarding the subsequent renewal of Renewed Facility Operating License 
No. NPF-12 for an additional 20 years for V.C. Summer. Draft Supplement 
15, Second Renewal, to the GEIS includes the NRC staff's evaluation of 
the environmental impacts of the proposed action and alternatives to 
the proposed action.
    The NRC staff's preliminary recommendation is that the adverse 
environmental impacts of subsequent license renewal for V.C. Summer are 
not so great that preserving the option of subsequent license renewal 
for energy-planning decision-makers would be unreasonable.

    Dated: December 2, 2024.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Acting Deputy Director, Division of Rulemaking, Environmental, and 
Financial Support, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
