Week Ending February 6, 2015 

Acceptance of License Renewal Application for LaSalle County Station

On January 26, 2015, the staff completed its acceptance review of the license renewal 

application (LRA) for LaSalle County Station (LSCS), Units 1 and 2. The staff determined that 

the application contains sufficient information for docketing. The staff received the LRA from 

Exelon Generation Company on December 9, 2014, requesting the extension of the respective 

operating licenses for an additional 20 years beyond the current 40-year terms. The current 

operating licenses for LSCS Units 1 (NPF-11) and 2 (NPF-18) expire at midnight on April 17, 

2022, and December 16, 2023, respectively. LSCS Units 1 and 2 are boiling water reactors 

designed by General Electric. The staff plans to hold public information sessions at the LaSalle 

County Office, 711 East Etna Road, Ottawa, on March 10, 2015, to describe the license renewal 

process. Acceptance of the LRA, which is published in the Federal Register, begins a 60-day 

opportunity for members of the public to file a request for a hearing and/or petition to intervene. 

Emergent Amendment Issued for Columbia Generating Station

On January 30, 2015, Columbia Generating Station (CGS) requested an amendment to extend 

the completion times of technical specification limiting conditions for operation regarding the 

inoperability of one train of the residual heat removal system due to unforeseen complications 

during a system modification. CGS requested that the amendment be processed on an 

emergent basis. The staff agreed with the licensee’s assertion that emergency circumstances 

existed, in that failure to issue the amendment would result in a shutdown of the plant, and that 

the licensee acted in a timely manner in requesting the amendment. The amendment was 

issued on February 1, 2015, and extended the completion time for the restoration of the residual 

heat removal system an additional 7 days. 

Public Meetings on Proposed Renewal of Operating License for Byron, Units 1 and 2

On February 3, 2015, the staff held two identical public meetings in Byron, IL, to discuss the 

preliminary findings of, and receive public comments on, the draft supplemental environmental 

impact statement (SEIS) on the proposed renewal of the operating licenses for Byron, Units 1 

and 2. The preliminary finding of this report is that the adverse environmental impacts of license 

renewal for Byron are not great enough to deny the option of license renewal for energy 

planning decision-makers. Approximately 30 people combined attended both meetings. The 

public comment period is currently scheduled to close on February 20, 2015. The staff plans to 

issue the final SEIS in July 2015.
