SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion 

Notice is hereby given that the NRC 

has issued Subsequent Renewed Facility 

Operating License No. DPR–22 to 

Northern States Power Company, a 

Minnesota corporation (NSPM, the 

licensee), for Monticello Nuclear 

Generating Plant, Unit 1 (Monticello). 

NSPM is the operator of the facility. 

Subsequent Renewed Facility Operating 

License No. DPR–22 authorizes 

operation of Monticello by NSPM at 

reactor core power levels not in excess 

of 2,004 megawatts thermal, in 

accordance with the provisions of the 

Monticello subsequent renewed license 

and technical specifications. Notice is 

also given that the record of decision 

(ROD) that supports the NRC’s decision 

to issue Subsequent Renewed Facility 

Operating License No. DPR–22 is 

available in the ‘‘Availability of 

Documents’’ section of this document. 

As discussed in the ROD and the final 

site-specific environmental impact 

statement (EIS), published as NUREG– 

1437, Supplement 26, Second Renewal, 

‘‘Site-Specific Environmental Impact 

Statement for License Renewal of 

Nuclear Plants, Supplement 26, Second 

Renewal, Regarding Subsequent License 

Renewal for Monticello Nuclear 

Generating Plant, Unit 1, Final Report,’’ 

dated November 2024, the final EIS 

documents the NRC staff’s 

environmental review, including the 

determination that the adverse 

environmental impacts of subsequent 

license renewal for Monticello are not 

so great that preserving the option of 

subsequent license renewal for energy 

planning decisionmakers would be 

unreasonable. The final EIS conclusion 

is based on (1) information provided in 

the environmental report submitted by 

NSPM, as supplemented, (2) the NRC 

staff’s consultations with Federal, State, 

local, and Tribal agencies, (3) the NRC 

staff’s independent environmental 

review, (4) the NRC staff’s consideration 

of public comments received during the 

scoping process and on the 2024 draft 

site-specific EIS, and (5) consideration 

of new and modified Category 1 and 

Category 2 environmental issues 

identified in Revision 2 to NUREG– 

1437, ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact 

Statement for License Renewal of 

Nuclear Plants’’ (August 2024). 

Monticello is a single-cycle, forced 

circulation, General Electric BWR–3, 

low power density boiling water reactor 

(BWR), located on a site situated on the 

southern bank of the Mississippi River 

in Monticello, Minnesota, 

approximately 35 miles northwest of 

Minneapolis, Minnesota. NSPM 

submitted its application for the 

subsquent renewed license, ‘‘Monticello 

Nuclear Generating Plant Unit 1 

Subsequent License Renewal 

Application,’’ dated January 9, 2023, as 

supplemented by letters through 

February 29, 2024 (see Availability of 

Documents’’ section of this document). 

The NRC staff has determined that 

NSPM’s application complies with the 

standards and requirements of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 

(the Act), and NRC’s regulations. As 

required by the Act and NRC regulations 

in chapter 1 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC 

has made appropriate findings, which 

are set forth in the subsequent renewed 

license. 

A public notice of the NRC’s 

acceptance for docketing of the 

subsequent renewed license application 

and an opportunity for a hearing was 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 3, 2023 (88 FR 13474). Further, 

a notice of intent to prepare a sitespecific EIS and conduct environmental 

scoping was published on March 10, 

2023 (88 FR 15103). On March 18, 2024, 

the NRC staff issued its Safety 

Evaluation Report concerning the 

Monticello subsequent license renewal 

application. In April 2024, the NRC staff 

issued a draft site-specific EIS for public 

comment, providing the preliminary 

results of the staff’s environmental 

evaluation of the Monticello SLR 

application. A notice of availability of 

the site-specific draft EIS was published 

in the Federal Register on April 24, 

2024 (89 FR 31225). On November 15, 

2024, the NRC staff issued a final sitespecific EIS, providing its final 

evaluation of the environmental impacts 

of Monticello subsequent license 

renewal; a notice of issuance was

340 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 2 / Friday, January 3, 2025 / Notices 

published in the Federal Register on

For further details with respect to this 

action, see (1) NSPM’s subsequent 

license renewal application for 

Monticello, dated January 9, 2023, as 

supplemented by letters dated through 

February 29, 2024; (2) the NRC’s safety 

evaluation report, dated March 2024; (3)

2024.
