Virginia Electric and Power Company; Dominion Energy Virginia:

Surry Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

SUMMARY

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment draft plant-specific Supplement 6, Second Renewal, to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, regarding the subsequent renewal of Facility Operating License Nos.

DPR-32 and DPR-37 for an additional 20 years of operation for Surry Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Surry). The Surry facility is located in Surry County, Virginia.

Possible alternatives to the proposed action (subsequent license renewal) include no action and reasonable replacement power alternatives.

II.

Discussion The NRC is issuing for public comment draft plant-specific Supplement 6, Second Renewal, to the GEIS for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, regarding the subsequent renewal of Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-32 and DPR-37 for an additional 20 years of operation for Surry, Unit Nos. 1 and 2. Draft plant-specific Supplement 6, Second Renewal, to the GEIS includes the preliminary analysis that evaluates the environmental impacts of the proposed action and alternatives to the proposed action. The NRCs preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of subsequent license renewal for Surry are not so great that preserving the option of subsequent license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 17th day of October, 2019.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
