NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-272, 50-311, 50-354; NRC-2009-0390 and NRC-2009-0391]


PSEG Nuclear, LLC, Hope Creek Generating Station and Salem 
Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and 2; Notice of Availability of 
the Final Supplement 45 to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement 
for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC) has published a final plant-specific supplement to the Generic 
Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants 
(GEIS), NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal of operating licenses NPF-57, 
DPR-70, and DPR-75 for an additional 20 years of operation for the Hope 
Creek Generating Station (HCGS) and Salem Nuclear Generating Station, 
Units 1 and 2 (Salem). Possible alternatives to the proposed action 
(license renewal) include no action and reasonable alternative energy 
sources.
    As discussed in Section 9.4 of the final supplement, the staff 
determined that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal 
for HCGS and Salem are not so great that preserving the option of 
license renewal for energy planning decision makers would be 
unreasonable. This recommendation is based on: (1) The analysis and 
findings in the GEIS; (2) information provided in the environmental 
report (ER) submitted by PSEG Nuclear, LLC; (3) consultation with 
Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) a review of pertinent documents 
and reports; and (5) consideration of public comments received during 
scoping and on the draft SEIS.
    The final Supplement 45 to the GEIS is publicly available at the 
NRC Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, 11555 
Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852, or from the NRC's Agencywide 
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). The ADAMS Public 
Electronic Reading Room is accessible at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. The accession number for the final Supplement 45 to the 
GEIS is ML11089A021. Persons who do not have access to ADAMS or who 
encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, should 
contact the NRC's PDR reference staff by telephone at (800) 397-4209 or 
(301) 415-4737, or by e-mail at [email protected]. In addition, the Salem 
Free Library, 112 West Broadway, Salem, NJ 08079, has agreed to make 
the final supplement available for public inspection.
