Subject:

Certification of Permanent Removal of Fuel from the Reactor Vessel By letters dated June 24 and August 25, 2016 (Reference 1 and 2), Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) notified the NRC of its intention to permanently cease power operations at Fort Calhoun Station (FCS) pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i). On October 24, 2016, OPPD permanently ceased power operations at FCS.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1 )(ii), OPPD hereby certifies to the NRC that as of November 13, 2016, all fuel has been permanently removed from the FCS reactor vessel and placed into the FCS spent fuel pool. OPPD understands and acknowledges that upon docketing these certifications for permanent cessation of operations and permanent removal of fuel from the reactor vessel, the 10 CFR Part 50 license no longer authorizes operation of the reactor or emplacement or retention of fuel into the reactor vessel.

If you should have further questions, please contact Mr. Bradley H. Blome, Manager - Site Regulatory Assurance, at 402-533-7270.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct; executed on November 13, 2016.

Respectfully,

~-
