Fort Calhoun Station, Unit 1
SUBJECT:
SUMMARY
OF MEETING HELD IN SUPPORT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FOR THE FORT CALHOUN STATION, UNIT 1 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION (TAC NO. MB3402)
On Wednesday, February 26, 2003, members of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff held public meetings in Omaha Nebraska, concerning the staffs environmental review of the application submitted by the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) for renewal of the operating license for the Fort Calhoun Station Unit 1 (FCS). The purpose of the meetings was to provide the public with an opportunity to provide comments on the draft supplemental environmental impact statement (DSEIS) for FCS that was issued in January 2003. Afternoon and evening sessions were held to allow maximum public participation. Formal presentations were made by the NRC and national laboratory staff.
The DSEIS is a plant-specific supplement for FCS to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (NUREG-1437). The NRC staff described the overall license renewal process, provided a description of the National Environmental Policy Act review process, and discussed the environmental requirements outlined in 10 CFR Part 51.
NRC staff and staff from the national laboratories described the results of their analyses. The environmental impacts of continued operation were predicted to be small in all dimensions, while the impacts of alternatives (including the no-action alternative) were predicted to have impacts in at least some environmental categories that could reach moderate or large significance.
In an effort to improve communication and increase interaction with members of the public, the NRC staff conducted open houses for one hour before each meeting session. The staff provided displays and brochures and met with members of the public to answer questions about the proposed renewal of the FCS operating license; OPPD also had a display. is a combined list of attendees for both sessions. Attachment 2 is a transcript for each of the meeting sessions. Attachment 3 is a copy of the presentation slides.
After the formal presentations given by the NRC staff, members of the public, OPPD, and local and state officials were invited to provide comments. More than 40 people attended the two sessions, with several making comments. Attendees included representatives of the NRC, OPPD, and nuclear industry; local government officials; state agency officials; special interest groups, and other members of the public.
The NRC staff will be accepting written comments on the FCS draft environmental impact statement until the comment period ends on April 10, 2003. After the close of the comment period, the staff will consider the comments and make any necessary revisions prior to issuing its final supplemental environmental impact statement for the FCS license renewal, scheduled for August 15, 2003.
