Good day,
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff is conducting an environmental review for a construction permit application submitted by TerraPower, LLC (TerraPower),
on behalf of US SFR Owner, LLC (USO), a wholly owned subsidiary of TerraPower, for the proposed Kemmerer Power Station Unit 1. The application was submitted by TerraPower on behalf of USOin a letter dated March28, 2024, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50.The facility, if licensed, would be constructed within the Kemmerer Unit 1 Sitein Kemmerer, Lincoln County, Wyoming.
The attached letter was mailed to the Wyoming SHPO and uploaded through the WyoTrack portal.
As part of the review, the NRC staff is preparing an environmental impact statement
(EIS) as required by 10 CFR Part 51, the NRCs regulations that implement the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended. In accordance with 36 CFR 800.8(c), the NRC is using the NEPA process to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, in lieu of the procedures set forth in 36 CFR 800.3 through 800.6.
The NRC expects to publish the draft EIS in Summer 2025. A copy of the draft EIS will be made available for your review and comment. The draft EIS will include identification of historic and cultural resources and historic properties, an analysis of potential effects of the proposed action, including potential effects on historic and cultural resources and historic properties as well as the NRC staffs preliminary determination.
The NRC staff would like to extend an invitation to meet for the week of September 16, 2024. Do you have availability that week?
In response to feedback we received from consulting Tribes, we are contemplating several options for meetings, including:
Site visit to Kemmerer, with follow-up group meeting or individual break-out meetings
Group Tribal meeting (location to be determined as centrally located to all Tribes that would like to meet in-person), with individual break-out meetings (if desired)
Virtual meeting(s) as a group and/or including individual meetings
Please let me know which option or options would work best for you and if you have other suggestions for best ways to meet.
Thank you for your consideration. Comments, questions, and concerns may be submitted to Beau Goldstein, staff archaeologist at Beau.Goldstein@nrc.gov.

Beau J. Goldstein, RPA Environmental Project Manager U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards
