NRC Review of Wolf Creek Donating Land to Stringtown Cemetery Public Meeting: October 15, 2025
Introduction to the Wolf Creek Land Release Wolf Creek Generating Station (the licensee) is asking to release 4.46 acres of land for unrestricted use.
The land is located about 0.80 miles north-northwest of the plant, next to the Stringtown Cemetery.
The area is considered non-impacted, meaning it has no detectable radioactive contamination above natural levels.

Why Is This Land Being Released?
The Stringtown Cemetery Board requested a land donation to expand the cemetery to the north.
The land has never been used by the power plant, and it is outside plant exclusion areas (radiation controlled areas), including safety boundaries.
There is no reasonable chance that the land has been affected by plant activities.
