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 23, Second Renewal, Regarding Subsequent License Renewal (SLR) for Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 (Point Beach), Second Draft Report for Comment (second draft report). This second draft report concerns the NRC staff's review of the environmental impacts of the proposed renewal of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-24 and DPR-27 for Point Beach, Units 1 and 2, respectively, for an additional 20 years. Point Beach is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, approximately 15 miles north-northeast of Manitowoc, Wisconsin. 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 second draft report—is also being issued.
The NRC staff will hold a public meeting through online webinar on the second draft report, including a presentation on the preliminary recommendation in the second draft report and a transcribed public comment session. The meeting will be held on May 15, 2025, at 3 p.m. central time, 4 p.m. eastern time (ET). The public meeting details can be found on the NRC's Public Meeting Schedule at https://www.nrc.gov/pmns/mtg. Members of the public are invited to submit comments by June 2, 2025. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before this date.
