NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50-317 and 50-318]
Baltimore Gas and Electric Company; Notice of Availability of the
Final Supplement 1 to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for
the License Renewal of Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1
and 2
Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(the Commission) has published a final plant-specific Supplement 1 to
the Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) (NUREG-1437)
regarding the renewal of operating licenses DPR-53 and DPR-69 for an
additional 20 years of operation at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power
Plant (CCNPP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively. CCNPP is located in
Calvert County, Maryland. Possible alternatives to the proposed action
(license renewal) include no action and reasonable alternative energy
sources.
In Section 9.3 of the report, the staff concludes: Based on (1) the
analysis and findings in the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for
License Renewal of Nuclear Power Plants, NUREG-1437, (2) the ER
[Environmental Report] submitted by BGE, (3) consultation with other
Federal, State, and local agencies, (4) its own independent review, and
(5) its consideration of public comments, the staff recommends that the
Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of license
renewal for Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 and Unit 2 are
not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy
planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable.
The final supplement to the GEIS for CCNPP is available for public
inspection and copying at the Commission's Public Document Room at the
Gelman Building, 2120 L Street NW., Washington, DC, and the Local
Public Document Room located in the Calvert County Public Library, 30
Duke Street, Prince Frederick, MD 20678.
