Issuing agencies

Abstract

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), as the lead agency, and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Loan Programs Office (LPO), as a cooperating agency, will conduct a scoping process to gather information to prepare an environmental assessment (EA) to evaluate the environmental impacts from proposed Federal actions related to reauthorizing power operations at the Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP). Specifically, the NRC is considering an exemption request, a license transfer request, and license amendment requests to support reauthorizing operation under the NRC license. DOE LPO's proposed action is to provide federal financial support (a loan guarantee) to support power operations at PNP. The NRC and DOE LPO are seeking public comment on the proposed actions and will hold a hybrid public scoping meeting.
