NRC NEWS U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Office of Public Affairs Telephone: 301/415-8200 Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 E-mail: opa@nrc.gov Site: http://www.nrc.gov No.08-202 November 6, 2008 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION FOR COOPER NUCLEAR PLANT AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION The Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced today that an application for a 20-year renewal of the operating license for the Cooper nuclear power plant is available for public review.

The Cooper plant has one boiling water reactor, and is located 23 miles south of Nebraska City, Neb. The current operating license expires Jan. 18, 2014.

Coopers owner, the Nebraska Public Power District, submitted the application Sept. 30.

The application is available on the NRC Web site at this address:

The NRC staff is currently conducting its initial review of the application to determine whether it contains sufficient information required for the safety and environmental reviews. If the application has sufficient information, the NRC will formally docket, or file it and will announce an opportunity for the public to request an adjudicatory hearing on the renewal request.
