Constellation Energy Generation, LLC; Christopher M. Crane Clean Energy Center; Draft Environmental Assessment and Draft Finding of No Significant Impact

The United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry of the United States and Canada, AFL-CIO, supports the NRC's draft environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact for the re-powering of the Christopher M. Crane Clean Energy Center. They argue that the project is necessary for grid reliability, provides significant socioeconomic benefits, and creates high-skilled jobs for the nuclear workforce.

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) opposes the current draft Environmental Assessment, arguing that it fails to sufficiently analyze the impacts of water intake, thermal discharges, and the existence of a nature-like fishway on aquatic life. They request specific analyses on flow conditions, thermal profiles, and the status of American Shad populations before a final determination is made.

The commenter opposes the proposed action because the Draft Environmental Assessment fails to adequately analyze the environmental impacts of storing additional spent fuel on-site. They argue that the Continued Storage Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) relies on outdated and invalid assumptions regarding the integrity of aging canisters and the effectiveness of current aging management programs.

The commenter opposes the proposed nuclear energy project due to concerns regarding nuclear fission waste and safety. They advocate for a focus on conservation and green energy instead of nuclear power.
