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).
    For further details with respect to this action, see: (1) Union 
Electric Company's (dba Ameren Missouri) license renewal application 
for Callaway Plant, Unit 1 dated December 15, 2011, as supplemented by 
letters dated through June 20, 2014; (2) the NRC's safety evaluation 
report published in August 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14232A380); (3)

51), for Callaway, Unit 1, published in October 2014; and (4) the NRC's 
ROD.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 6th day of March, 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Regulation.
