KEWAUNEE POWER STATION LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION REVIEW

Dear Mr. Klima:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) is reviewing an application to renew the operating license for Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) which is located on Lake Michigan in Kewaunee County, Wisconsin, and is operated by Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc.

(DEK). The application for renewal was submitted by DEK in a letter dated August 14, 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 site-specific 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. In accordance with 36 CFR 800.8(c), the SEIS will include analyses of potential impacts to historic and cultural resources.

The NRC staff plans to hold two public license renewal and environmental scoping process meetings on October 22, 2008, at the Carlton Town Hall, N1296, Town Hall Road, Kewaunee, Wisconsin 54216. The first meeting will convene at 1:30 p.m. and will continue until 4:30p.m.,

as necessary. The second meeting will convene at 700 p.m., with a repeat of the overview portions of the first meeting, and will continue until 10:00 p.m., as necessary. You and your staff are invited to attend the public meetings. In addition, during the week of January 12, 2009, the NRC staff plans to conduct a site audit at KPS. Your office will receive a copy of the draft SEIS along with a request for comments. The anticipated publication date for the draft SEIS is August 2009.

D. Klima The KPS license renewal application is available on the internet at www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/applications/kewaunee.html. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact the License Renewal Project Manager, Ms. Sarah Lopas, at 301-415-1147 or by e-mail at sarah.lopas@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
