 Nuclear Regulatory Commission [Docket No. 50-285; NRC-2022-0127]
 AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
 ACTION: Public meeting and request for comment.
 SUMMARY: On August 3, 2021, as supplemented on January 13, 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received from the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD, the licensee) a license amendment request to add a license condition to include the requirements of a License Termination Plan (LTP) for the Fort Calhoun Station, Unit 1 (FCS). The LTP provides details about the known radiological information for the site, the planned demolition and decommissioning tasks to be completed, and the final radiological surveys and data that must be obtained for termination of the NRC's license for FCS. The NRC is requesting public comments on FCS's LTP and will hold a public meeting to discuss the LTP.
 DATES: The public meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 13, 2022, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Central Time (CT), at the Blair Public Library & Technology Center, 2233 Civic Dr., Blair, NE. The public meeting is also available through an online webinar. Submit comments by September 6, 2022. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before this date. See Section IV “Request for Comment and Public Meeting” of this document for additional information.
 ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods; however, the NRC encourages electronic comment submission through the Federal rulemaking website: *Federal rulemaking Website:*

II. Discussion Omaha Public Power District (OPPD or licensee) is the holder of Facility Operating License No. DPR-40. The license provides, among other things, that the facility is subject to all rules, regulations, and orders of the NRC now or hereafter in effect. The facility is a pressurized-water reactor located in Washington County, NE. On June 24, 2016, OPPD formally notified the NRC of its intent to permanently cease operations at FCS. By letter dated November 13, 2016, the licensee notified the NRC that it had 
                    ( print page 40871)
                    permanently ceased power operations at FCS on October 14, 2016, and certified that as of November 13, 2016, all fuel had been permanently removed from the FCS reactor vessel and placed in the FCS spent fuel pool. The licensee submitted its Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (PSDAR) on March 20, 2017. The PSDAR described the licensee's proposed decommissioning activities and schedule. At that time, the licensee selected to place the facility in long-term storage (
                    *i.e.,*
                     the “SAFSTOR” decommissioning option) as described in the PSDAR. SAFSTOR is a method of decommissioning in which a nuclear facility is placed and maintained in a condition that allows the facility to be safely stored and subsequently decontaminated (deferred decontamination) to levels that permit release for unrestricted use. The licensee planned to continue in SAFSTOR until 2058. By letter dated December 16, 2019, OPPD submitted an updated PSDAR to reflect that the decommissioning approach for the FCS was changing from SAFSTOR to the immediate decontamination and dismantlement of the facility (
                    *i.e.,*
                     the DECON decommissioning option). DECON is a method of decommissioning in which structures, systems, and components that contain radioactive contamination are removed from the site and safely disposed at a commercially operated low-level waste disposal facility or decontaminated to a level that permits the site to be released for unrestricted use as soon as possible after removal of the spent fuel from the spent fuel pool. On May 13, 2020, FCS removed the last canister of fuel and all special nuclear material from the spent fuel pool. On August 3, 2021, FCS submitted their LTP to the NRC as supplemented by letter dated January 13, 2022. Paragraph 50.82(a)(9) of title 10 of the 
                    *Code of Federal Regulations*
                     (10 CFR), “Termination of license,” specifies that an application for license termination must be accompanied or preceded by a LTP, which is subject to NRC review and approval. The LTP addresses site characterization to ensure that the scope of final status surveys (FSS) of the site cover all areas where contamination existed, remains, or has the potential to exist or remain, identification of remaining dismantlement activities, plans for site remediation, a description of the FSS plans to confirm that FCS will meet the release criteria in 10 CFR part 20, subpart E, “Radiological Criteria for License Termination,” dose-modeling scenarios that ensure compliance with the radiological criteria for license termination, an estimate of the remaining site-specific decommissioning costs, a supplement to the FCS Defueled Safety Analysis Report and an updated assessment of the environmental effects of decommissioning FCS. According to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(9)(iii), after the licensee submits an LTP the NRC must hold a public meeting near the site. The purpose of the meeting is for the NRC staff to discuss the NRC's review of the LTP and to request public comments on the LTP. III.
