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 licensees classification of any released

areas as non-impacted is adequately justif ied; and if the NRC determines that the

licensees submittal is adequate, the NRC will inform the licensee in writing that the

release is approved.

4 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 Joel.Wiebe@nrc.gov, if accommodations or special equipment are

needed for you to attend or to provide comments, so that the NRC staff can determine
