NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-305; NRC-2008-0484]
Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc.; Kewaunee Power Station; Notice of
Issuance of Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-43 for an
Additional 20-Year Period; Record of Decision
Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC, the Commission) has issued a renewed facility operating license
No. DPR-43 to Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc. (licensee), the operator
of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS). Renewed facility operating license
No. DPR-43 authorizes operation of KPS by the licensee at reactor core
power levels not in excess of 1772 megawatts thermal, in accordance
with the provisions of the KPS renewed license and its technical
specifications.
The notice also serves as the record of decision for the renewal of
facility operating license No. DPR-43, consistent with Title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations Section 51.103 (10 CFR 51.103). As
discussed in the final supplemental environmental impact statement
(FSEIS) for KPS, dated August 2010, the Commission has considered a
range of reasonable alternatives that included supercritical coal-fired
generation; natural gas combined-cycle generation; a combination of
conservation, efficiency, wood-fired generation, and wind power; and
non-renewal of the operating license. The factors considered in the
record of decision can be found in the supplemental environmental
impact statement (SEIS) for KPS.
KPS is a pressurized-water reactor located near the Town of
Carlton, Wisconsin. The application for the renewed license complied
with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954,
as amended (the Act), and the Commission's regulations. As required by
the Act and the Commission's regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, the
Commission has made appropriate findings, which are set forth in the
license. Prior public notice of the action involving the proposed
issuance of the renewed license and of an opportunity for a hearing
regarding the proposed issuance of the renewed license was published in
the Federal Register on October 1, 2008 (73 FR 57154).

Energy Kewaunee, Inc. license renewal application for KPS dated August
