NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF THE FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2

Dear Principal Chief Baker:

Please find enclosed a copy of the final NUREG-1437, "Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, Supplement 53, Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2." The final Supplemental Environm ental Impact Statement (SEIS) is being issued as part of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) process to decide whether to issue renewed operating licenses to Tennessee Valley Authority for Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 (SQN). In the final SEIS, the NRC staff determined that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for SQN are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decision-makers would be unreasonable. In the context of

the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, NRC staff determined that no historic properties will be affected by the proposed action (license renewal). The final Environmental Impact Statement will accompany the final Safety Evaluation Report to be considered in the Commission's license renewal decision making process.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Russell Chazell, Environmental Scientist, at 301-415-5003 or by e-mail at Russell.Chazell@nrc.gov
