  • Environmental Report for Mcguire
    Applicant’s Environmental Report Operating License Renewal Stage McGuire Nuclear Station This page intentionally left blank. McGuire Nuclear Station Applicant’s Environmental Report Operating License Renewal Stage Introduction Introduction Duke Energy Corporation (Duke) submits this Environmental Report (ER) as part of Duke’s application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to renew the operating licenses for Units 1 and 2 of the McGuire Nuclear Station (McGuire). The Duke application is a combined application to renew the licenses for Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, and McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 for twenty years beyond the end of the current licenses. In compliance with applicable NRC requirements, this ER analyzes potential environmental impacts associated with renewal of the McGuire licenses. A separate ER is submitted as part of the application to analyze potential environmental impacts associated with the renewal of the Catawba licenses. This ER is designed to assist the NRC Staff in preparing the McGuire-specific Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement required for license renewal. The McGuire ER complies with 10 CFR § 54.23, which requires license renewal applicants to submit a supplement to the Environmental Report which complies with requirements of Subpart A of 10 CFR Part 51. This Report also addresses the more detailed requirements of NRC environmental regulations in 10 CFR §§ 51.45 and 51.53, as well as the underlying intent of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. § 4321 et seq. For major federal actions, NEPA requires preparation of a detailed statement that addresses their significant environmental impacts, adverse environmental effects that cannot be avoided should the proposal be implemented, alternatives to the proposed action, and any irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources associated with implementation of the proposed action.

  • Nuclear Power Plants in the Path of Hurricane Florence More Than a Half Dozen Nuclear Power Plants Are in States That May Be Affected by Hurricane Florence
    Brunswick Nuclear Power Plant, Southport, NC Nuclear Power Plants in the Path of Hurricane Florence More than a half dozen nuclear power plants are in states that may be affected by Hurricane Florence. Flooding can threaten the safe operation of nuclear power plants. Powerful hurricanes like Hurricane Florence present multiple risks to nuclear power stations. High winds can down power lines that deliver electricity that nuclear plants use to run their cooling systems. Flooding can damage back-up generators or key components needed to keep reactors safe. Flooding can be caused by heavy rain that raises the level of rivers and reservoirs, by intense local precipitation that overwhelms on-site drainage systems, or by wind-driven intrusion of water into buildings. Storm surges can also cause flooding. Several nuclear reactors are in areas that may be subject to flooding in the wake of Hurricane Florence. Inspec- tions and reviews by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission have found potential problems at some plants that could allow water into critical systems. Brunswick Nuclear Power Plant (Southport, NC) Located near where the Cape Fear River empties into the Atlantic Ocean in North Carolina, the Brunswick Nuclear Plant has been producing electricity for over 40 years.1 In 2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) identified multiple potential routes by which parts of the plant could be flooded. The NRC expressed particular concern that a strong hurricane could flood the room where oil that fuels backup generators is stored. Cracks, gaps, and unmaintained seals, the result of “a historical lack of a flood protection program at Brunswick,” made the plant vulnerable.
