          - [Docket No. 50-271; NRC-2011-0067]

Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC of the Commission) has issued Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-28 to Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC (Entergy VY), and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO), (licensee), the operator of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VYNPS). Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-28 authorizes operation of VYNPS by the licensee at reactor core power levels not in excess of 1912 megawatts thermal (650 megawatts electric), in accordance with the provisions of the VYNPS renewed license and its technical specifications.

The notice also serves as the record of decision for the renewal of Facility Operating License No. DPR-28, 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 for VYNPS, dated August 2007, the Commission has considered a range of reasonable alternatives that included the no-action alternative. The factors considered in the record of decision can be found in the supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) for VYNPS.

                    VYNPS is a boiling water reactor located five miles south of Brattleboro, Vermont. 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 1, the Commission has made appropriate findings, which are set forth in the renewed license. Prior public notice of the Commission considering the license renewal application (LRA) and of an opportunity for a hearing regarding the LRA was published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on March 27, 2006 (71 FR 15220).
