SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion
Notice is hereby given that the NRC has issued Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-58 to Vistra for Perry, Unit 1. Vistra is the operator of the facility. Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-58 authorizes Vistra to operate Perry, Unit 1 at reactor core power levels not in excess of 3,758 megawatts thermal, in accordance with the provisions of Perry, Unit 1, renewed operating license and technical specifications. Notice is also given that the ROD that supports the NRC's decision to issue Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-58 is available in the "Availability of Documents" section of this document.
As discussed in the ROD and the final supplemental environmental impact statement (EIS), published as NUREG-1437, "Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, Supplement 61, Regarding License Renewal of Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Final Report," dated April 2025. The final EIS documents the NRC staff's environmental review, including the determination that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Perry, Unit 1 are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable. The final EIS conclusion is based on (1) information provided in the environmental report submitted by Vistra, as supplemented, (2) the NRC staff's consultations with Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies, (3) the NRC staff's independent environmental review, and (4) the NRC staff's consideration of public comments received during the scoping process and on the 2024 draft site-specific EIS, as well as the consideration of mitigation measures.
Perry, Unit 1 is a Mark 3, boiling water reactor located on the shore of Lake Erie in Lake County, Ohio, approximately 35 miles northeast of Cleveland, Ohio. The application for the renewed license, "Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1, License Renewal Application," is dated July 3, 2023, and has been supplemented (see "Availability of Documents" section, of this document). The NRC staff has detemined that Vistra's application complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the NRC's regulations. As required by the Act and NRC regulations in chapter 1 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC has made appropriate findings, which are set forth in the renewed license.
A public notice of the NRC's acceptance for docketing of the renewed license application and an opportunity for a hearing was published in the Federal Register on September 29, 2023 (88 FR 67373).
For further details with respect to this action, see: (1) Vistra Operations Company, LLC's license renewal application for Perry, Unit 1, dated July 3, 2023, as supplemented by letters dated through January 30, 2025; (2) the NRC's safety evaluation, published in May 2025; (3) the NRC's final environmental impact statement (NUREG-1437, Supplement 61) for Perry, Unit 1, published in April 2025; and (4) the NRC's ROD, issued on July 7, 2025.
