<strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>Impact</strong>s of Operation<br />

<strong>Impact</strong>s from salt drift, icing, fogging, or increased humidity associated with<br />

cooling tower operation have not been found to be a problem at operating<br />

nuclear power plants and are not expected to be a problem during the license<br />

renewal term.<br />

The staff has not identified any new and significant information during its independent review of<br />

the NMC ER, the staff's site visit, the scoping process, its evaluation, or public comments on<br />

the draft SEIS. Therefore, the staff concludes that there are no cooling tower impacts on crops<br />

and ornamental vegetation during the renewal term beyond those discussed in the GELS.<br />

Cooling tower impacts on native plants. Based on information in the GELS, the Commission<br />

found that<br />

These collisions have not been found to be a problem at operating nuclear power<br />

plants and are not expected to be a problem during the license renewal term.<br />

are no impacts of bird collisions with cooling towers during the renewal term beyond those<br />

discussed in the GElS.<br />

* Microbiological organisms (occupational health). Based on information in the GELS, the<br />

Commission found that<br />

Occupational health impacts are expected to be controlled by continued'<br />

application of accepted industrial hygiene practices to minimize worker<br />

exposures.<br />
