Docket No. 50-018
General Electric Hitachi; Vallecitos Boiling Water Reactor Developmental Power Reactor; Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact
Summary
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a finding of no significant impact (FONSI) and accompanying environmental assessment (EA) regarding the NRC's consideration of a license amendment request from General Electric Hitachi (GEH or the licensee) seeking approval of a license termination plan (LTP) for the Vallecitos Boiling Water Reactor (VBWR) Developmental Power Reactor (DPR)-1. If approved, the amendment would add a license condition to the license reflecting the NRC's approval of its LTP. Based on the EA, the NRC staff has concluded that there will be no significant impacts to environmental resources from the requested license amendment, and therefore, a FONSI is appropriate.
