  • NRC - NRC Approves License Renewal for Wolf Creek Nuclear Power Plant for an Additional 20 years: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved the operating license renewal of the Wolf Creek Generating Station in Kansas for an additional 20 years. The Wolf Creek nuclear power plant is located about 4 miles northeast of Burlington, Kans. The operator, Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corp., submitted its license renewal application Sept. 27, 2006.

The NRC?s environmental review for this license renewal is described in a site-specific supplement to the NRC?s ?Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Power Plants? (NUREG-1437, Supplement 32), issued in May. The review concluded there were no environmental impacts that would preclude renewal of the license for environmental reasons. Public meetings to discuss the environmental review were held near the plant Dec. 19, 2006, and Nov. 8, 2007.
