Members of the public will have an opportunity to comment on a draft report that assesses the environmental impact of extending the operating license for the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant in Burlington.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold two meetings on Nov. 8 to accept comments on the report. The first session will begin at 1:30 p.m. with the second one at 7 p.m. Both meetings will be in the Coffey County Library, Burlington Branch, 410 Juanita St. in Burlington.
NRC staff will be available for an hour before each meeting for informal, one-on-one discussions of the report.
The NRC report, known as the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, was issued on Sept. 18. As part of Wolf Creekâs license renewal application, the company submitted an environmental report.
Those interested in attending the meeting in November may pre-register to attend or speak at the meetings by contacting Christian Jacobs, the NRC environmental project manager, at (800) 368-5642, extension 3874 or by e-mail at WolfCreekEIS@nrc.gov no later than Nov. 1.
In addition, there will be a 15-minute registration period before each meeting for members of the public to request speaking time.
The draft report is posted on the NRC Web page at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr1437/supplement32.
