SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the Director, 
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, has issued a director's decision 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML14128A141) on petitions filed by the petitioner 
on June 26 and July 3, 2011 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML11182B029 and 
ML11192A285, respectively). The petitioner supplemented the petitions 
by teleconference on August 29, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML11256A036).
    The petitioner requested that the NRC issue a confirmatory order 
against Omaha Public Power District (OPPD), the licensee for FCS, 
prohibiting the licensee from restarting FCS, and issue a confirmatory 
order to Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD), the licensee for CNS, 
requiring the licensee to bring CNS to a cold shutdown mode of 
operation, until: (1) The floodwaters subside to an appreciably lower 
level or to sea level, (2) the licensee upgrades its flood protection 
plan, (3) the licensee repairs and enhances its current flood 
protection berms, and (4) the licensee upgrades its station blackout 
procedures to meet a challenging extended loss of offsite power because 
of floodwaters and other natural disasters or terrorist attacks.
    On August 29, 2011, the petitioner participated in a teleconference 
with the NRC's Petition Review Board. The meeting provided the 
petitioner an opportunity to provide additional information and to 
clarify issues cited in the petition. The transcript for that meeting 
is available in ADAMS under Accession No. ML11256A036.
    The NRC sent a copy of the proposed director's decision to the 
petitioner, NPPD, and OPPD for comment on April 15, 2015 (ADAMS 
Accession Nos. ML15062A354, ML15062A362, and ML15062A366, 
respectively). The petitioner and the licensees were asked to provide 
comments within 14 days on any part of the proposed director's decision 
that was considered to be erroneous or any issues in the petition that 
were not addressed. The staff did not receive any comments on the 
proposed director's decision.
    The Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation has 
determined that the requests, to prevent the restart of FCS or to bring 
CNS to cold shutdown, be denied. The reasons for this decision are 
explained in the director's decision DD-15-05 pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206 
of the Commission's regulations.
    The NRC will file a copy of the director's decision with the 
Secretary of the Commission for the Commission's review in accordance 
with 10 CFR 2.206. As provided by this regulation, the director's 
decision will constitute the final action of the Commission 25 days 
after the date of the decision unless the Commission, on its own 
motion, institutes a review of the director's decision in that time.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 3rd day of June 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Michele G. Evans,
Acting Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
