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.

(ADAMS Accession No. ML12180A124).
    The petitioner requested that the NRC revoke the license of Omaha

inadequate and create an ongoing, high risk danger to public safety; 
(3) the flood risks of the six dams upstream of FCS are either

    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
