II. Discussion

    The NRC is issuing for public comment a draft EIS for the 
construction permit for the proposed SHINE facility. This draft EIS 
includes the preliminary analysis that evaluates the environmental 
impacts of the proposed action and alternatives to the proposed action. 
The preliminary recommendation is that after weighing the 
environmental, economic, technical, and other benefits against 
environmental and other costs, and considering reasonable alternatives, 
the NRC staff recommends, the issuance of the requested construction 
permit to SHINE, unless safety issues mandate otherwise.

III. Public Meetings

    The NRC staff will hold public meetings prior to the close of the 
public comment period to present an overview of the draft EIS for the 
proposed construction permit and to accept public comment on the 
document. Two meetings will be held on June 10, 2015, at the Rotary 
Botanical Gardens, 1455 Palmer Drive, Janesville, WI 53545. The first 
session will convene at 2:00 p.m. and will continue until 4:00 p.m., as 
necessary. The second session will convene at 7:00 p.m. and will 
continue until 9:00 p.m., as necessary. The meetings will be 
transcribed and will include: (1) A presentation of the contents of the 
draft EIS; and (2) the opportunity for interested government agencies, 
organizations, and individuals to provide comments on the draft EIS. 
Additionally, the NRC staff will host informal discussions one hour 
prior to the start of each session at the same location. No comments on 
the draft EIS will be accepted during the informal discussions. To be 
considered in the final EIS, comments must be provided either at the 
transcribed public meeting or submitted in writing by the comment 
deadline identified above. Persons may pre-register to attend or 
present oral comments at the meeting by contacting Ms. Michelle Moser, 
the NRC environmental project manager, at 1-800-368-5642, extension 
6509, or by email at [email protected] no later than Friday, June 
5, 2015. Members of the public may also register to provide oral 
comments within 15 minutes of the start of each session. Individual 
oral comments may be limited by the time available, depending on the 
number of persons who register. If special equipment or accommodations 
are needed to attend or present information at the public meeting, the 
need should be brought to Ms. Moser's attention no later than Tuesday, 
June 2, 2015, to provide the NRC staff adequate notice to determine 
whether the request can be accommodated.
