NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-305; NRC-2008-0484]


Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc.; Kewaunee Power Station; Notice of 
Issuance of Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-43 for an 
Additional 20-Year Period; Record of Decision

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC, the Commission) has issued a renewed facility operating license 
No. DPR-43 to Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc. (licensee), the operator 
of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS). Renewed facility operating license 
No. DPR-43 authorizes operation of KPS by the licensee at reactor core 
power levels not in excess of 1772 megawatts thermal, in accordance 
with the provisions of the KPS renewed license and its technical 
specifications.
    The notice also serves as the record of decision for the renewal of 
facility operating license No. DPR-43, consistent with Title 10 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations Section 51.103 (10 CFR 51.103). As 
discussed in the final supplemental environmental impact statement 
(FSEIS) for KPS, dated August 2010, the Commission has considered a 
range of reasonable alternatives that included supercritical coal-fired 
generation; natural gas combined-cycle generation; a combination of 
conservation, efficiency, wood-fired generation, and wind power; and 
non-renewal of the operating license. The factors considered in the 
record of decision can be found in the supplemental environmental 
impact statement (SEIS) for KPS.
    KPS is a pressurized-water reactor located near the Town of 
Carlton, Wisconsin. 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 October 1, 2008 (73 FR 57154).

Energy Kewaunee, Inc. license renewal application for KPS dated August
