Constellation Energy Generation, LLC; Clinton Power Station, Unit 
1; Partial Site Release

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Public meeting; request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering a 
request from Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (Constellation, the 
licensee) to approve the release of 172.7 acres of land to DeWitt 
County, Illinois, for the Clinton Lake Marina. Constellation had 
recently identified that a Quit Claim Deed was executed by AmerGen 
Energy Company, LLC, a previous licensee for Clinton Power Station, 
Unit 1, (CPS) on September 17, 2003, without obtaining approval in 
accordance with NRC regulations. Constellation states that this 
property has not been impacted by CPS operations. The NRC will review 
the request as directed by NRC regulations. The NRC is soliciting 
public comment on the requested action and invites stakeholders and 
interested persons to participate.

DATES: The public meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 24, 2024, 
from 5:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. central time (CT), at

II. Discussion

    Constellation Energy Generation LLC (Constellation, the licensee) 
is the holder of Facility Operating License No. NPF-62 for Clinton 
Power Station, Unit 1 (CPS). The license provides, among other things, 
that the CPS, Unit 1 is subject to all rules, regulations, and orders 
of the NRC now or hereafter in effect. The CPS license (NPF-62, Docket 
No. 50-461) is for a power reactor under part 50 of title 10 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Domestic Licensing of 
Production and Utilization Facilities.''
    The NRC received a request for approval of a partial site release 
from Constellation, by letter dated June 7, 2023 (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML23158A262), as supplemented by letter dated February 8, 2024 (ADAMS 
Accession No. ML24039A182). Constellation requests NRC approval to 
remove and release from its 10 CFR part 50, license, 172.7 acres of 
land for the Clinton Lake Marina in accordance with 10 CFR 50.83(b). In 
its request, the licensee states that the property that is subject to 
this release request was not used for plant operations or storage of 
radioactive material. As described in 10 CFR 50.83(c), the NRC will 
determine whether the licensee has adequately evaluated the effect of 
releasing the properties per the requirements of 10 CFR 50.83(a)(1); 
determine whether the licensee's classification of any released areas 
as ``non-impacted'' is adequately justified; and if the NRC determines 
that the licensee's submittal is adequate, the NRC will inform the 
licensee in writing that the release is approved.

III. Request for Comment and Public Meeting

    The NRC will conduct a public meeting to answer questions and 
gather comments regarding Constellation's request for approval of the 
partial site release. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 24, 
2024, from 5:30 p.m. until 7 p.m., CT, at the Clinton City Hall, 118 W 
Washington St., Ste. 3, Clinton, IL 61727. Comments can be provided 
orally or in writing to the NRC staff present at the meeting. The NRC 
will consider and, if appropriate, respond to these written and verbal 
comments, but such comments will not otherwise constitute part of the 
decisional record.
    Please contact Joel S. Wiebe no later than July 17, 2024, by phone 
at 301-415-6606 or by email at [email protected], if accommodations or 
special equipment are needed for you to attend or to provide comments, 
so that the NRC staff can determine whether the request can be 
accommodated.
    For information regarding the meeting, monitor the NRC's Public 
Meeting Schedule website at https://www.nrc.gov/pmns/mtg for 
information about the public meeting. The agenda will be posted no 
later than 10 days prior to the meeting.
