The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has made available to the public the combined license (COL) application for a new reactor at the Callaway site near Fulton, Mo. The applicant, Ameren, submitted the application and associated information July 28. The application, minus proprietary or security-related details, is available on the NRC Web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/col/callaway.html. The Ameren application seeks approval to build and operate an Evolutionary Power Reactor (EPR) at the site, approximately 10 miles southeast of Fulton. The EPR is an Areva-designed pressurized water reactor, with a nominal output of approximately 1,600 megawatts of electricity. Areva filed its application Dec. 11, 2007, to certify the design. A version of the EPR is currently under construction at the Olkiluoto site in Finland and at Flamanville, France. The EPR application, minus proprietary or security-related details, is available on the NRC Web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/design-cert/epr.html.

The design for AmerenUE's proposed second nuclear plant in Missouri isn't that different from its existing plant, officials from the utility say. AmerenUE submitted an application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in late July for a license to build and operate the proposed plant, which would be built next to its existing plant in Callaway County.

CLAYTON — About a dozen residents opposed to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's plan to cover a radioactive landfill near Earth City asked the St. Louis County Council on Tuesday to formally protest the plan. The group says the material at West Lake Landfill should instead be removed because of potential flooding and water contamination.

The mayors of several North St. Louis cities are being asked to encourage the St. Louis County Council on Tuesday to request that the Environmental Protection Agency excavate radioactive waste, not just cover it up, from the West Lake Landfill in Bridgeton, Mo., that is upstream from a plant that provides drinking water to some St. Louis residents.

ST. LOUIS | Union Electric Co. withdrew plans for a second nuclear reactor in Callaway County in October 1982, but a new generation of executives is back 25 years later with plans for another plant. The St. Louis-based utility, now called AmerenUE, and its partner, Baltimore-based UniStar Nuclear LLC, will seek a construction and operating license as soon as next month for a $6 billion, 1,600-megawatt plant next to the existing Callaway nuclear plant.

A multi-layered cap of soil and concrete will be used to cover radioactive waste at the West Lake Landfill in Bridgeton. The Environmental Protection Agency announced Thursday that it decided a cap was the best method to prevent exposure of the waste. The agency first presented the idea at a public hearing on March 27.

BRIDGETON — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency formally approved a plan Thursday to build a multilayered cover over 40 acres of the West Lake Landfill containing radioactive waste. The plan also calls for a system of groundwater-monitoring wells to be installed at the 200-acre landfill, a Superfund site long slated for federal cleanup. Area residents and environmental activists had urged the EPA to remove waste from the landfill because of concerns over possible flooding and groundwater contamination. But on Thursday, EPA officials touted the approved plan as the best option.

Thousands of baby teeth, almost all collected from St. Louis-area residents in the 1950s and 1960s, will finally be used in a comprehensive study aimed at learning whether fallout from atomic bomb tests increased the cancer risk for Americans born in those Cold War years. The nonprofit Radiation and Public Health Project in New York announced last week that a $15,000 donation from the Oregon Community Foundation of Portland, Ore., would allow the yearlong study to begin. The rest of the nearly $37,000 project cost is being covered by other private contributors, project officials said.
