II. Discussion
Omaha Public Power District is the holder of Renewed Facility
Operating License No. DPR-40 for FCS. The license provides, among other
things, that the facility is subject to all rules, regulations, and
orders of the NRC now or hereafter in effect. The facility consists of
one pressurized-water reactor located in Washington County, Nebraska.
By letter dated August 25, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16242A127), OPPD
submitted a certification to the NRC indicating it would permanently
cease power operations at FCS on October 24, 2016. On October 24, 2016,
OPPD permanently ceased power operation at FCS. On November 13, 2016
(ADAMS Accession No. ML16319A254), OPPD certified that it had
permanently defueled the FCS reactor vessel.
On March 30, 2017, OPPD submitted the PSDAR and DCE for FCS in
accordance with Sec. 50.82(a)(4)(i) of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (ADAMS Accession No. ML17089A759). The PSDAR includes a
description of the planned decommissioning activities, a proposed
schedule for their accomplishment, the site-specific DCE (submitted
concurrently), and a discussion that provides the basis for concluding
that the environmental impacts associated with the site-specific
decommissioning activities will be bounded by appropriate, previously
issued generic and plant-specific environmental impact statements.
III. Request for Comment and Public Meeting
The NRC is requesting public comments on the PSDAR and DCE for FCS.
The NRC will conduct a public meeting to discuss the PSDAR and DCE and
receive comments on Wednesday, May 31, 2017, from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m.,
CDT, at the Double Tree Hotel, 1616 Dodge Street, Omaha, Nebraska
68102. The NRC requests that comments that are not provided during the
meeting be submitted as noted in section I., ``Obtaining Information
and Submitting Comments'' of this document in writing by July 7, 2017.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 7th day of April 2017.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Douglas A. Broaddus,
Chief, Special Projects and Process Branch, Division of Operating
Reactor Licensing, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
