LIC-18-0019 Page 3 Enclosure 1 Description of Property Requested for Release

LIC-18-0019 Page 4 Description of the Property Requested for Release The Fort Calhoun Station (FCS) property is located in the eastern portion of central Nebraska in Washington County, Nebraska. Specifically the area located in the East half of the Southwest quarter of Section 17, Township 18 North, Range 12 East and the East half of the Northeast quarter of the Northwest quarter and East half of the Southeast quarter of the Northwest of Section 20, Township 18 North, Range 12 East. The sites location is on the banks of the Missouri River approximately 19.4 miles North of Omaha, Nebraska and 4 miles south of Blair, Nebraska.

The property that is subject to release is an approximately 500-acre parcel of uninhabited, undeveloped land in Iowa described in the October 24, 1973 and March 30, 1978 executed easements. The parcel has not been negatively impacted by FCS operations or subsequent decommissioning activities. The subject land is part of an exclusion area of 582 acres located on the Northeast bank of the river directly opposite the plant buildings.

The subject land will be characterized in two (2) open land survey units and has received an initial classification as "non-impacted." Non-impacted areas have no reasonable potential for residual contamination because historical information indicates there was no known impact from site operations. These outlying areas have no impact from site operations based upon the location(s) of licensed operation, site use, topography, and other site physical characteristics.

The 500-acre parcel has limited access for personnel or vehicle transit due to remote access and use of the parcel for agricultural purposes.

The legal description of the subject land is described below and shown in yellow in figure 1-FCS Metes and Bounds.

The West One-half (W2), except the North One Thousand feet (1,000') thereof, together with all accretions thereto extending to the Nebraska-Iowa Compact line and the Northeast Quarter (NE3 ), except the North One Thousand feet (1,000') and the East Five Hundred feet (500')
