The NRC is issuing for public comment a draft EIS for the construction permit for the proposed SHINE facility. This draft EIS includes the preliminary analysis that evaluates the environmental impacts of the proposed action and alternatives to the proposed action. The preliminary recommendation is that after weighing the environmental, economic, technical, and other benefits against environmental and other costs, and considering reasonable alternatives, the NRC staff recommends, the issuance of the requested construction permit to SHINE, unless safety issues mandate otherwise.
The NRC staff will hold public meetings prior to the close of the public comment period to present an overview of the draft EIS for the proposed construction permit and to accept public comment on the document. Two meetings will be held on June 10, 2015, at the Rotary Botanical Gardens, 1455 Palmer Drive, Janesville, WI 53545. The first session will convene at 2:00 p.m. and will continue until 4:00 p.m., as necessary. The second session will convene at 7:00 p.m. and will continue until 9:00 p.m., as necessary. The meetings will be transcribed and will include: (1) A presentation of the contents of the draft EIS; and (2) the opportunity for interested government agencies, organizations, and individuals to provide comments on the draft EIS. Additionally, the NRC staff will host informal discussions one hour prior to the start of each session at the same location. No comments on the draft EIS will be accepted during the informal discussions. To be considered in the final EIS, comments must be provided either at the transcribed public meeting or submitted in writing by the comment deadline identified above. Persons may pre-register to attend or present oral comments at the meeting by contacting Ms. Michelle Moser, the NRC environmental project manager, at 1-800-368-5642, extension 6509, or by email at
