Notice of Availability of the Draft Supplement 41 to the Generic

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Nuclear Plants (GEIS), NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal of operating 
license DPR-46 for an additional 20 years of operation for Cooper 
Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (CNS-1). CNS-1 is located near Brownville, 
Nebraska, on the Missouri River in Nemaha County. Possible alternatives 
to the proposed action (license renewal) include no action and 
reasonable alternative energy sources.
    Any interested party may submit comments on the draft supplement to 
the GEIS for consideration by the NRC staff. To be considered, comments 
on the draft supplement to the GEIS and the proposed action must be 
received by May 5, 2010; the NRC staff is able to ensure consideration 
only for comments received on or before this date.

Please include Docket ID NRC-2008-0617 in the subject line of your

including any information in your submission that you do not want to be 
publicly disclosed.
    The NRC requests that any party soliciting or aggregating comments 
received from other persons for submission to the NRC inform those
