Category 3 Purpose of the Meeting

The purpose of the meeting was to describe: 1) the request s by the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD or the licensee

), to release from regulatory control non

-impacted of parts of the Fort Calhoun Station site for unrestricted use

, and; 2) th e U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) process for partial site releases of nuclear power facilities

, for members of the public. In compliance with the regulations in 10 CFR 50.83 , this meeting was also held to answer any questions and take comments from the public. The request s by OPPD are in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) accession nos. ML18215A187 (dated June 29, 2018

) and ML18316A036 (dated November 12, 2018). The meeting announcement is in ADAMS at accession no. ML18319A273

. The Federal Register Notice announcing NRC consideration of the requests, a 30-day opportunity to comment and holding of a public meeting was published on November 26, 2018 (83 FR 60508). No comments were received during the comment period.

General Details:

The meeting was attended by 19 individuals including OPPD representatives, representatives from the States of Nebraska and Iowa, an OPPD contractor, members of the public, and NRC staff. Presentations were made on the partial site release request made by OPPD and the NRC's regulatory process and confirmatory surveys for partial site releases.

The OPPD and NRC meeting slides are in ADAMS at accession no s. ML19070A246 and ML19070A307 respectively. The meeting transcript is in ADAMS at accession no. ML19003A117

. The meeting started with welcome, introductions, and meeting information and ground rules. An OPPD representative made a presentati on on their request to release some non-impacted land areas of their site

, or land areas under easement, for unrestricted use (i.e., partial site release). The NRC staff then made a presentation on the power reactor partial site release review and approva l process, and the NRC surveys done to confirm the licensee's designation of the release areas as non

-impacted. Public Participation Themes:

The meeting was attended by three members of the public and two members of State Agencies

. The members of the public asked questions on what control OPPD would still have on the land area s next to the Missouri River in order to monitor erosion if those land areas were released by the NRC for unrestricted use.

An OPPD representative 3 explained that while further control of those land areas would be outside of NRC's jurisdiction, OPPD would still own the property.

Other member s of the public asked question s on what other observations of the land other than soil testing happen at the site. An OPPD representative described environmental monitoring that the Fort Calhoun Station does under its NRC license such as direct radiation and vegetation, milk, water, and air sampling.

Action Items/Next Steps:

The NRC's confirmatory survey report is complete and is in ADAMS at accession no. ML 19065A256. The report has confirmed that the land areas proposed for unrestricted release meet the definition of non

-impacted. NRC will finalize the NRC safety evaluation and process the partial site release request per the regulations in 10 CFR 50.83 for release of non

-impacted areas.

The NRC's decision on approval and the safety evaluation of the request will be communicated by letter to the licensee that will be publicly available once delivered to the licensee

.
