Thanks to Nukewatch for the heads up! As if the Prairie Island dry cask docket isn’t enough, the Draft EIS has been released for the Monticello relicensing/renewal. Here’s the Federal Register notice:

Federal Register Notice – Northern States Power Monticello Draft Environmental Impact Statement

and there’s a meeting on Thursday at the Monticello Community Center.

Comments are due June 10, 2024.

There’s a public meeting for comments on Thursday May 15, starting at 5 p.m. with an hour long info session, and then at 6 p.m. the comment period. Will they have good treats like Xcel usually does?? We shall see.

It’s at the Monticello Community Center, South Mississippi Room, 505 Walnut St., Monticello, MN 55362.
