The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) is issuing for public comment Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, Supplement 10, Second Renewal, Regarding Subsequent License Renewal (SLR) for Peach Bottom Atomic Power ( printed page 23076) Station Units 2 and 3 (Peach Bottom), Supplement 1, Draft Report for Comment. This draft supplement to the 2020 final supplemental environmental impact statement (2020 final SEIS) concerns the NRC staff's review of the environmental impacts of the proposed SLR of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-44 and DPR-56 for Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3, respectively, for an additional 20 years. Peach Bottom is located primarily in Peach Bottom Township, York County, Pennsylvania, near Delta, Pennsylvania. Possible alternatives to the proposed action of SLR include the no-action alternative and reasonable replacement power alternatives. A new notice of opportunity to request a hearing and petition for leave to intervene—limited to contentions based on new information in the draft supplement—is also being issued.
