SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

By letter dated July 10, 2018 (ADAMS 

Package Accession No. ML18193A689), 

Exelon Generation Company, LLC (now 

operating as Constellation Energy 

Generation, LLC (CEG)) submitted to the 

NRC an application, filed pursuant to 

section 103 of the Atomic Energy Act of 

1954, as amended, and part 54 of title 

10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(10 CFR), ‘‘Requirements for Renewal of 

Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power 

Plants,’’ for subsequent renewed facility 

operating licenses with expiration dates 

of August 8, 2053, for Peach Bottom, 

Unit 2 and July 2, 2054, for Peach 

Bottom, Unit 3, which are 20 years 

beyond when the current renewed 

facility operating licenses expire. The 

SLR application included an 

environmental report (ADAMS Package 

Accession No. ML18271A185). Peach 

Bottom is located primarily in Peach 

Bottom Township, York County, 

Pennsylvania, near Delta, Pennsylvania. 

A notice of receipt of the Peach 

Bottom SLR application was published 

in the Federal Register on August 1, 

2018 (83 FR 37529). A notice of 

acceptance for docketing of the 

application and opportunity to request a 

hearing was published in the Federal 

Register on September 6, 2018 (83 FR 

45285). A notice of intent to conduct a 

scoping process and prepare a SEIS was 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 10, 2018 (83 FR 45692). A 

notice of issuance of the draft SEIS and 

request for comment was published in 

the Federal Register on August 7, 2019 

(84 FR 38676). A notice of issuance of 

the final SEIS was published in the 

Federal Register on January 31, 2020 

(85 FR 5725). A notice of issuance of the 

subsequent renewed facility operating 

licenses was published in the Federal 

Register on March 11, 2020 (85 FR 

14247). The issuance of the licenses was 

also supported by an NRC Record of 

Decision (ROD) (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML20024G429). 

The final SEIS (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML20023A937) and the ROD 

document the NRC staff’s environmental 

review, including its recommendation 

that the adverse environmental impacts 

of SLR for Peach Bottom are not so great 

that preserving the option of license 

renewal for energy-planning 

decisionmakers would be unreasonable. 

As discussed in the final SEIS and the 

ROD, the NRC staff considered the 

reasonably foreseeable environmental 

impacts of SLR for Peach Bottom, as 

well as a range of reasonable 

alternatives to SLR. As part of its 

environmental review, the NRC staff 

relied upon NUREG–1437, Revision 1, 

‘‘Generic Environmental Impact 

Statement for License Renewal of 

Nuclear Plants,’’ dated June 2013 

(ADAMS Package Accession No. 

ML13107A023) (the 2013 LR GEIS), to 

meet its obligations under the NRC’s 

environmental protection regulations in 

10 CFR part 51, ‘‘Environmental 

Protection Regulations for Domestic 

Licensing and Related Regulatory 

Functions,’’ and the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended. Specifically, for issues 

classified as Category 1 (generic to all or 

a distinct subset of nuclear power 

plants) in the 2013 LR GEIS, the NRC 

staff did not identify new and 

significant information and, therefore, 

relied upon the conclusions of the 2013

1See Docket No. RM2018–3, Order Adopting 

Final Rules Relating to Non-Public Information, 

June 27, 2018, Attachment A at 19–22 (Order No. 

4679). 

LR GEIS for all those issues applicable 

to Peach Bottom. For issues classified as 

Category 2 (specific to individual 

nuclear power plants) in the 2013 LR 

GEIS, the NRC staff evaluated those 

issues applicable to Peach Bottom in the 

final SEIS. 

On February 24, 2022, the 

Commission issued three memoranda 

and orders, Commission Legal Issuance 

(CLI)–22–02 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML22055A496), CLI–22–03 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML22055A527), and CLI– 

22–04 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML22055A557), that addressed the NRC 

staff’s environmental reviews in SLR 

proceedings for five nuclear power 

plants, including Peach Bottom. The 

Commission concluded that the 2013 LR 

GEIS, on which the NRC staff had 

relied, in part, for its environmental 

reviews of the SLR applications for the 

affected nuclear power plants, did not 

consider SLR. Therefore, the 

Commission determined that these 

environmental reviews were inadequate. 

Accordingly, the Commission directed 

the NRC staff to leave the Peach Bottom 

subsequent renewed facility operating 

licenses in place but to modify their 

expiration dates to reflect the end dates 

of the previous renewed facility 

operating licenses (i.e., August 8, 2033, 

for Peach Bottom, Unit 2 and July 2, 

2034, for Peach Bottom, Unit 3), which 

the staff did on March 25, 2022 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML22073A207). 

The Commission affirmed this direction 

in CLI–22–07 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML22154A217). 

In CLI–22–03, the Commission 

directed the NRC staff to update the 

2013 LR GEIS so that it covers nuclear 

power plant operation during the SLR 

period. The Commission stated that it 

believed the most efficient way to 

proceed would be for the NRC staff to 

update the 2013 LR GEIS and then take 

appropriate action with respect to 

pending SLR applications to ensure that 

the environmental impacts for the 

period of SLR are considered. 

Consistent with this Commission 

direction, on August 6, 2024, the NRC 

published the final rule ‘‘Renewing 

Nuclear Power Plant Operating 

Licenses—Environmental Review’’ (89 

FR 64166). The final rule amended the 

NRC environmental protection 

regulations in 10 CFR part 51 to update 

the potential environmental impacts 

associated with the renewal of an 

operating license for a nuclear power 

plant for up to an additional 20 years, 

for either an initial license renewal or 

an SLR term. As part of this update, the 

NRC also issued Revision 2 to NUREG– 

1437 (the 2024 LR GEIS) (ADAMS 

Package Accession No. ML24087A133), 

which provides the technical basis for 

the final rule. Specifically, the 2024 LR 

GEIS supports the updated list of 

environmental issues and associated 

environmental impact findings 

contained in Table B–1 in Appendix B 

to Subpart A of the revised 10 CFR part 

51 for both initial license renewal and 

SLR. The final rule became effective on 

September 5, 2024. 

II. Discussion 

Pursuant to the Commission’s 

direction in CLI–22–04 to complete the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended, analysis for Peach 

Bottom SLR, the NRC staff will prepare 

a supplement to the final SEIS in 

accordance with 10 CFR 51.92. For the 

purposes of this supplement, the staff 

will assess whether new information 

since the final SEIS, including the 2024 

final rule and the 2024 LR GEIS, 

warrants any modification to the NRC 

staff’s previous recommendation that 

the adverse environmental impacts of 

SLR for Peach Bottom are not so great 

that preserving the option of license 

renewal for energy-planning 

decisionmakers would be unreasonable. 

In support of the development of the 

supplement, CEG submitted additional 

environmental information to the NRC 

by letter dated November 14, 2024 

(ADAMS Package Accession No. 

ML24319A074). Together, the 

supplement and the previously issued 

final SEIS will evaluate all of the 

environmental impacts of continued 

operation during the SLR term for Peach 

Bottom, Unit 2 from August 8, 2033, to 

August 8, 2053, and for Peach Bottom, 

Unit 3 from July 2, 2034, to July 2, 2054. 

The draft supplement will be issued for 

public comment.
