Fort Calhoun Station Pre-licensing Public Meeting 

On April 23, 2015, representatives of Omaha Public Power District held a pre-licensing public 

meeting with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC) Headquarters to discuss the licensee’s plans to submit two upcoming license 

amendment requests: (1) Reclassification of systems based on American National Standards 

Institute 58.14 (systems would be classified as safety-related, augmented quality, or non-safety 

related); and (2) revise licensing\design basis to adopt the American Concrete Institute Code 

ACI-318 (1971) for Class I structures at the site with the exception of the containment shell. 

Both of these proposed actions are intended to provide a path to reconciliation of NRC concerns 

regarding containment internal structures. 

Issuance of Davis-Besse Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement 

On April 24, 2015, the staff issued Final Supplement 52 to NUREG-1437, “Generic 

Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, Regarding DavisBesse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1.” The final supplemental environmental impact statement 

(FSEIS) represents the completion of the staff's environmental review of the license renewal 

application submitted by FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company. The FSEIS contains the 

staff’s conclusion that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal would not preclude 

renewing the plant’s license for an additional 20 years. 

American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Week 

During the week of April 27, 2015, the staff participated in the American Society of Mechanical 

Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Week Committee Meetings. The purpose 

of these meetings was to revise the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel code to address 

advances in technology and operating experience, thereby ensuring continued safe operation of 

nuclear power plants. Staff members are involved in these meetings to ensure that the ASME 

Code committees are aware of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) positions and to 

provide necessary input to the code writing process to minimize the imposition of conditions by 

the NRC when ASME Code products are incorporated by reference into NRC regulations.
