Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) announces its intent to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with a phased construction permit (CP) application, including a request for a limited work authorization submitted by SMR, LLC on behalf of Palisades SMR, LLC (Palisades SMR), for a dual-unit SMR-300 plant, Pioneer Units 1 and 2, at the Palisades Energy Center in Covert, Michigan. The NRC is initiating a 30-day public scoping period to gather input on the scope of the EIS and invites public comments to identify potential alternatives, environmental concerns, relevant information and analysis, and specific issues to be addressed in the EIS. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is a cooperating agency, while the NRC will be the lead Federal agency.
