NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-483; NRC-2012-0001]
License Renewal Application for Callaway Plant, Unit 1
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Draft supplemental generic environmental impact statement;
issuance, public meeting, and request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for
public comment a draft, plant-specific, Supplement 51 to the Generic
Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) for License Renewal of Nuclear
Plants, NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal of operating license NPF-30
for an additional 20 years of operation for Callaway Plant, Unit 1
(Callaway). Callaway is located in Callaway County, Missouri. Possible
alternatives to the proposed action (license renewal) include no action
and reasonable alternative energy sources. The NRC staff plans to hold
two public meetings during the public comment period to present an
overview of the draft plant-specific supplement to the GEIS and to
accept public comments on the document.
DATES: Submit comments by April 10, 2014. Comments received after this
date will be considered, if it is practical to do so, but the NRC staff
is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before
this date.

II. Discussion
The NRC is issuing for public comment a draft plant-specific
Supplement 51 to the GEIS for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-
1437, regarding the renewal of operating license NPF-30 for an
additional 20 years of operation for Callaway. Supplement 51 to the
GEIS includes the preliminary analysis that evaluates the environmental
impacts of the proposed action and alternatives to the proposed action.
The NRC's preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental
impacts of license renewal for Callaway are not great enough to deny
the option of license renewal for energy planning decision makers.
III. Public Meetings
The NRC staff will hold public meetings prior to the close of the
public comment period to present an overview of the draft plant-
specific supplement to the GEIS and to accept public comment on the
document. Two meetings will be held at the Fulton City Hall, 18 East
4th Street, Fulton, Missouri 65251 on Wednesday, March 19, 2014. The
first session will convene at 2:00 p.m. and will continue until 3:30
p.m., as necessary. The second session will convene at 7:00 p.m. and
will continue until 8:30 p.m., as necessary. The meetings will be
transcribed and will include: (1) A presentation of the contents of the
draft plant-specific supplement to the GEIS, and (2) The opportunity
for interested government agencies, organizations, and individuals to
provide comments on the draft report. Additionally, the NRC staff will
host
[[Page 10201]]
informal discussions one hour prior to the start of each session at the
same location. No comments on the draft supplement to the GEIS will be
accepted during the informal discussions. To be considered, comments
must be provided either at the transcribed public meeting or in
writing. Persons may pre-register to attend or present oral comments at
the meeting by contacting Ms. Carmen Fells, the NRC Environmental
Project Manager, at 1-800-368-5642, extension 6337, or by email at
[email protected] no later than Monday, March 10, 2014. Members of
the public may also register to provide oral comments within 15 minutes
of the start of each session. Individual oral comments may be limited
by the time available, depending on the number of persons who register.
If special equipment or accommodations are needed to attend or present
information at the public meeting, the need should be brought to Ms.
Fells' attention no later than Monday, March 10, 2014, to provide the
NRC staff adequate notice to determine whether the request can be
accommodated.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 12th day of February 2014.
