NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-285]


Omaha Public Power District, Fort Calhoun Station, Unit 1; Notice 
of Availability of the Final Supplement 12 to the Generic Environmental 
Impact Statement Regarding License Renewal for the Fort Calhoun 
Station, Unit 1

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(the Commission) has published a final plant-specific supplement to the 
``Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS)'', NUREG-1437, 
regarding the renewal of operating license DPR-40 for Fort Calhoun 
Station, Unit 1, for an additional 20 years of operation. The Fort 
Calhoun Station, Unit 1, is owned by the Omaha

[[Page 48960]]

Public Power District (OPPD). The Fort Calhoun Station, Unit 1, is 
located in Washington County, Nebraska. Possible alternatives to the 
proposed action (license renewal) include no action and reasonable 
alternative methods of power generation.
    It is stated in Section 9.3 of the report:
    Based on (1) the analysis and findings in the GEIS (NRC 1996; 
1999); (2) the ER [Environmental Report] submitted by the OPPD (OPPD 
2002); (3) consultation with Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) 
the staff's own independent review; and (5) the staff's consideration 
of the public comments received, the recommendation of the staff is 
that the Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of 
license renewal for Fort Calhoun Station Unit 1 are not so great that 
preserving the option of license renewal for energy-planning decision 
makers would be unreasonable.
    The final Supplement 12 to the GEIS is available for public 
inspection in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) located at One White 
Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland, 
or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's 
Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is 
accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov (the Public 
Electronic Reading Room). Persons who do not have access to ADAMS, or 
who encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, 
should contact the PDR reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, 301-415-4737, 
or by e-mail to [email protected].
    For Further Information Contact: Mr. Jack Cushing, License Renewal 
and Environmental Impacts Program, Division of Regulatory Improvement 
Programs, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555. Mr.
