NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-482]


Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation; Wolf Creek Generating 
Station; Notice of Availability of the Final Supplement 32 to the 
Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear 
Plants, Regarding the License Renewal of Wolf Creek Generating Station

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC, Commission) has published a final plant-specific supplement to 
the ``Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of 
Nuclear Plants (GEIS),'' NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal of operating 
license NPF-42 for an additional 20 years of operation for the Wolf 
Creek Generating Station (Wolf Creek). Wolf Creek is located 3.5 miles 
northeast of the town of Burlington, in Coffey County, Kansas. It is 
approximately 75 miles southwest of Kansas City and approximately 3.5 
miles east of the Neosho River and the John Redmond Reservoir. The 
nearest population center, Emporia, is 28 miles west-northwest of the 
site. Other nearby communities are New Strawn and Burlington. Possible 
alternatives to the proposed action (license renewal) include no action 
and reasonable alternative energy sources.
    As discussed in Section 9.3 of the final Supplement 32, based on: 
(1) The analysis and findings in the GEIS; (2) the Environmental Report 
submitted by Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation; (3) consultation 
with Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) the staff's own 
independent review; and (5) the staff's consideration of public 
comments, the recommendation of the staff is that the Commission 
determine that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for 
Wolf Creek are not so great that preserving the option of license 
renewal for energy-planning decision makers would be unreasonable.
    The final Supplement 32 to the GEIS is publicly available at the 
NRC Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, 11555 
Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852, or from the NRC's Agency-
wide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). The ADAMS Public 
Electronic Reading Room is accessible at http://adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.htm. The Accession Number for the final Supplement 32 to the 
GEIS is ML081260608. Persons who do not have access to ADAMS, or who 
encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, should 
contact the NRC's PDR Reference staff by telephone at 1-800-397-4209, 
or 301-415-4737, or by e-mail at [email protected]. The Accession Number for 
the final Supplement 32 to the GEIS is ML081260608. In addition, the 
Kansas Public Library Burlington Branch in Burlington, Kansas, has 
agreed to make the final Supplement available for public inspection.
