The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued an environmental assessment and a finding of no significant impact regarding a request from Constellation Energy Generation, LLC. This request seeks an exemption to allow the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Units 2 and 3 to load seven canisters for storing spent nuclear fuel starting June 2025, despite not meeting certain compliance requirements. The proposed action includes using specific equipment during loading and transportation, and NRC found that this exemption would not significantly affect the environment. Consequently, there is no need for an environmental impact statement.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering granting exemptions to PSEG Nuclear, LLC for its Hope Creek, Salem, and Peach Bottom Atomic Power Stations. These exemptions would allow PSEG to use earnings from its nuclear decommissioning trust for activities not strictly defined as "decommissioning" by NRC regulations. After conducting an environmental assessment, the NRC found that there would be no significant impact on the environment or safety, as the action is primarily financial in nature. Therefore, they decided not to prepare an environmental impact statement and issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI).

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved exemptions for PSEG Nuclear, LLC, allowing it to transfer earnings from nuclear decommissioning trust funds into specific subaccounts without prior notification. These exemptions pertain to funds at Hope Creek Generating Station, Salem Generating Station, and Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, and are intended for activities that don't strictly fall under "decommissioning" as defined by existing regulations. The NRC confirmed these changes will not jeopardize the safe decommissioning of the reactors and concluded there are no significant environmental impacts from this decision. The exemptions are immediately effective and will expire once each reactor permanently ceases operations and removes nuclear fuel.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) plans to create a supplement to their Environmental Impact Statement for the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station's license renewal. This supplement will review new information and assess the environmental effects of renewing the power station's licenses. The NRC aims to ensure that renewing the licenses doesn't harm the environment more than anticipated. The draft of this supplement will be made available for public comment to gather input before final decisions are made.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) granted an exemption to Constellation Energy Generation, LLC, allowing the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station to use a specific storage system for spent nuclear fuel. This exemption lets them bypass certain safety criteria normally required, specifically related to tornado-generated missile impacts, because they have an alternative method to ensure safety during fuel loading and transport starting in June 2025. The NRC determined that this exemption is legal, won't threaten safety or security, and serves the public interest by helping manage spent nuclear fuel more efficiently. An environmental assessment showed no significant impacts on the environment from this decision.
