SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the NRC has
issued renewed facility operating license No. NPF-30 to Union Electric
Company, the operator of Callaway. Renewed facility operating license
No. NPF-30 authorizes operation of Callaway by the licensee at reactor
core power levels not in excess of 3565 megawatts thermal, in
accordance with the provisions of the Callaway renewed license and
technical specifications. The NRC's ROD that supports the NRC's
decision to renew facility operating license No. NPF-30 is available in
ADAMS under Accession No. ML14302A238. As discussed in the ROD and the
final supplemental environmental impact statement (FSEIS) for Callaway,
Supplement 51 to NUREG-1437, ``Generic Environmental Impact Statement
for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants Regarding Callaway Plant, Unit
1,'' dated October 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14289A140), the NRC has
considered a range of reasonable alternatives that included natural gas
combined-cycle, supercritical pulverized coal, new nuclear, wind power,
energy efficiency measures, and the no action alternative. The ROD and
FSEIS document the NRC decision for the environmental review that the
adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Callaway are not
so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy
planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable.
Callaway, Unit 1, is a pressurized water reactor located in
Callaway County, Missouri. The application for the renewed license,
``Callaway Plant, Unit 1, License Renewal Application,'' dated December
15, 2011, as supplemented by letters dated through June 20, 2014 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML113530372), complied with the standards and
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act),
and the NRC's regulations. As required by the Act and the NRC's
regulations in chapter 1 of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, the NRC has made appropriate findings, which are set forth
in the license. A public notice of the proposed issuance of the renewed
license and an opportunity for a hearing was published in the Federal
Register on February 24, 2012 (77 FR 11173).

Electric Company's (dba Ameren Missouri) license renewal application

report published in August 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14232A380); (3)
