SUBJECT:
COOPER NUCLEAR STATION LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION REVIEW (NEBRASKA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT - COOPER NUCLEAR STATION SHPO LOG NUMBER 004-AT-08)
Dear Mr. Miles:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) is reviewing an application to renew the operating license for Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS), which is located in Nemaha County, Nebraska (NE), on the west bank of the Missouri River at river mile 532.5. The Village of Brownville, NE is located approximately 2.25 miles northwest of the site. CNS is operated by the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD). The application for renewal was submitted by NPPD by letter dated September 24, 2008, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 54 (10 CFR Part 54).
The NRC has established that, as part of the staffs review of any nuclear power plant license renewal action, a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) to its Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, will be prepared under the provisions of 10 CFR Part 51, the NRCs regulation that implements the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). In accordance with 36 CFR 800.8(c), the SEIS will include analyses of potential impacts to historic and cultural resources.
In the context of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, the NRC staff has determined that the area of potential effect (APE) for a license renewal action is the area at the power plant site and its immediate environs that may be impacted by post-license renewal land-disturbing operations or projected refurbishment activities associated with the proposed action.
The APE may extend beyond the immediate environs in those instances where post-license renewal land-disturbing operations or projected refurbishment activities specifically related to license renewal may potentially have an effect on known or proposed historic sites. This determination is made irrespective of ownership or control of the lands of interest.
On February 25, 2009, the NRC will conduct two public license renewal and environmental scoping meetings. The first session will be held at the Brownville Concert Hall at 126 Atlantic St., Brownville, NE 68321, telephone (402) 825-3331, and will convene at 1:30 p.m. and will continue until 4:30 p.m., as necessary. The second session will be held at the Auburn Senior Center at 1101 J St., Auburn, NE 68305, telephone (402) 274-3420, and will convene at 7:00 p.m., with a repeat of the overview portions of the meeting and will continue until 10:00 p.m., as necessary. You and your staff are invited to attend. Your office will receive a copy of the draft SEIS along with a request for comments. The staff expects to publish the draft SEIS in December 2009.
M. Miles If you have any questions concerning the NRC staffs review of this license renewal application, please contact NRCs Project Managers, Tam Tran, by telephone, 1-800-368-5642, extension 3617, or by email to the NRC at tam.tran@nrc.gov, or Emmanuel Sayoc, by telephone, 1-800-368-5642, extension 1924, or by email to the NRC at emmanuel.sayoc@nrc.gov.
