Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC; Oconee 

Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3; Final 

Site-Specific Environmental Impact 

Statement 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice; issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) has published a final 

site-specific environmental impact 

statement (EIS), issued as NUREG–1437, 

Supplement 2, Second Renewal, ‘‘SiteSpecific Environmental Impact 

Statement for License Renewal of 

Nuclear Plants Regarding Subsequent 

License Renewal for Oconee Nuclear 

Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, Final Report.’’ 

This EIS evaluates, on a site-specific 

basis, the environmental impacts of 

subsequent renewal of Renewed Facility 

Operating License Nos. DPR–38, DPR– 

47, and DPR–55 for an additional 20 

years of operation for Oconee Nuclear 

Station, Units 1, 2, and 3 (Oconee

located in Seneca, South Carolina, 

approximately 30 miles west of 

Greenville. Possible alternatives to the 

proposed action of subsequent license 

renewal for Oconee Station include the 

no-action alternative, a new nuclear 

alternative, a natural gas combinedcycle alternative, and a combination 

alternative.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In accordance with section 51.118 of 

title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, ‘‘Final environmental 

impact statement—notice of 

availability,’’ the NRC is making 

available for public inspection sitespecific NUREG–1437, Supplement 2, 

Second Renewal, regarding the 

subsequent renewal of Duke Energy 

Carolinas’ (Duke Energy) Renewed 

Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–38, 

DPR–47, and DPR–55 for an additional 

20 years of operation for Oconee 

Station. A notice of availability of the 

site-specific draft of NUREG–1437, 

Supplement 2, Second Renewal, was 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 13, 2024, by the NRC (89 FR 

10107) and on February 16, 2024, by the 

Environmental Protection Agency (89 

FR 12335). The public comment period 

on the draft site-specific EIS ended on 

April 1, 2024, and the comments 

received are addressed in the final EIS. 

II. Discussion 

As discussed in Chapter 4 of NUREG– 

1437, Supplement 2, Second Renewal, 

the NRC staff’s recommendation is that 

the adverse environmental impacts of 

subsequent license renewal for Oconee 

Station for an additional 20 years 

beyond the expiration dates of the 

initial renewed licenses are not so great 

that preserving the option of subsequent 

license renewal for energy-planning 

decisionmakers would be unreasonable. 

This recommendation is based on: (1) 

Duke Energy’s environmental report, as 

supplemented; (2) the NRC staff’s 

consultations with Federal, State, 

Tribal, and local government agencies; 

(3) the NRC staff’s independent 

environmental review, which is 

documented in NUREG–1437, 

Supplement 2, Second Renewal; and (4) 

the NRC staff’s consideration of public 

comments. 

Dated: February 4, 2025.

Deputy Director, Division of Rulemaking, 

Environmental, and Financial Support, Office 

of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
