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

information, or public comments on the draft SEIS. Therefore, the staff concludes that there<br />

are no impacts of thermal plume barriers to migrating fish during the renewal term beyond<br />

those discussed in the GELS.<br />

0 Distribution of aquatic organisms. Based on information in the GELS, the Commission found<br />

that<br />

Thermal discharge may have localized effects but is not expected to effect the<br />

larger geographical distribution of aquatic organisms.<br />

* Premature emergence of aquatic insects. Based on information in the GElS, the<br />

Commission found that<br />

Premature emergence has been found to be a localized effect at some operating<br />

nuclear power plants but has not been a problem and is not expected to be a<br />

problem during the license renewal term.<br />

* Gas supersaturation (gas bubble disease). Based on information in the GELS, the<br />

Commission found that<br />

Gas supersaturation was a concern at a small number of operating nuclear<br />

power plants with once-through cooling systems but has been satisfactorily<br />

mitigated. It has not been found to be a problem at operating nuclear power<br />

plants with cooling towers or cooling ponds and is not expected to be a problem<br />

during the license renewal term.<br />
