The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has issued its final environmental impact statement (EIS) on the proposed Early Site Permit (ESP) for the Clinton site, about six miles east of Clinton, Ill. The report contains the NRCÂ’s finding that there are no environmental impacts that would prevent issuing the ESP. Combined with the recent issuance of a final Safety Evaluation Report on the application, this marks the end of the staffÂ’s technical review on the Clinton ESP, although additional steps must be completed before the NRC reaches a final decision on the matter.To review the Clinton EIS online, click here. Please note that this is the second EIS that the NRC has issued on an ESP, with the first coming in April when the Commission issued its decision on Entergy's application at Grand Gulf. In turn, the NRC will be holding a hearing on the EIS for Dominion's ESP application at North Anna in mid-August.
