NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Docket No. 50-298; NRC-2008-0617]
Nebraska Public Power District Cooper Nuclear Station; Notice of
Issuance of Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-46 for an
Additional 20-Year Period and Record of Decision
Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC, the Commission) has issued renewed facility operating license No.
DPR-46 to Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD), the operator of the
Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS). Renewed facility operating license No.
DPR-46 authorizes operation of CNS at reactor core power levels not in
excess of 2419 megawatts thermal (830 megawatts electric), in
accordance with the provisions of the CNS renewed license and its
technical specifications.
The notice also serves as the record of decision for the renewal of
facility operating license No. DPR-46, consistent with Title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations 51.103 (10 CFR 51.103). As discussed in the
final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS) for CNS,
dated July 2010, the Commission considered a range of reasonable
alternatives that included generation from coal, natural gas,
combination of alternatives, and the no action alternative. The factors
considered in the record decision can be found in the FSEIS for CNS
(Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear
Plants, Supplement 41).
CNS is a BWR located in Nemaha County, Nebraska. The application
for the renewed license complied with the standards and requirements of
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the
Commission's regulations. As required by the Act and the Commission's
regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, the Commission has made appropriate
findings, which are set forth in the license. Prior public notice of
the action involving the proposed issuance of the renewed license and
of an opportunity for a hearing regarding the proposed issuance of the
renewed license was published in the Federal Register on December 30,
2008.

license renewal application for CNS dated September 24, 2008, as
supplemented by letters dated through August 30, 2010; (2) the
Commission's safety evaluation report (NUREG-1944), published in
