Recommendations

Info

Abstract The NRC staff's recommendation is that the Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Monticello are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable. This recommendation is based on (1) the analysis and findings in the GELS; (2) the Environmental Report submitted by MC; (3) consultation with Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) the staff's own independent review; and (5) the staff's consideration of public comments. NUREG-1437, Supplement 26 iv August 2006 1
