    January 11, 2018 MEMORANDUM TO: Joseph Colaccino, Chief Licensing Branch 3 Division of New Reactor Licensing Office of New Reactors FROM: Tamsen Dozier, Project Manager /RA/ Licensing Branch 3 Division of New Reactor Licensing Office of New Reactors SUBJECT: SUMMARY REPORT FOR THE FULL SCOPE ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT FOR THE CLINCH RIVER NUCLEAR EARLY SITE PERMIT APPLICATION By letter dated May 12, 2016, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) submitted an application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for an early site permit (ESP) for the Clinch River Nuclear (CRN) Site located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. TVA’s ESP application included an Environmental Report (ER). TVA subsequently provided supplemental information in support of the application and the NRC staff accepted the application for docketing and detailed review on December 30, 2016. On April 13, 2017, the NRC issued a notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) and to conduct scoping for TVA’s ESP application (82 FR 17885). In support of the NRC staff’s environmental review of TVA’s ESP application and development of the EIS, the NRC conducted an audit of data and information used to support the ER, as supplemented. The audit was conducted in two parts and the NRC environmental staff was joined by its contractor project team from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and by staff from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (jointly referred to as the review team). The face-to-face portion of the audit was held primarily at TVA offices in Knoxville, Tennessee from May 15-19, 2017.

More precisely, it explores the origin and historical development over the last three centuries of a legal principle and practice under which a particular, protected status has been extended to land areas belonging to and occupied by indigenous peoples in what is now California. The examination shows that ever since the Spanish first established a continuing presence in California in 1769, the governing colonial regime has accorded Indian lands such status.

Kr De allra tidigaste invandrarna korsar landbryggan där Berings Sund nu ligger och vandrar in på den Nordamerikanska http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in 1 _the_United_States f.Kr kontinenten troligen redan under tidigare perioder då inlandsisen drog sig tillbaka. Kanske redan så tidigt som för 50’000 år sedan. Men det här finns inga bevis för.Under den senaste nedisningen, som pågick under tiden mellan 26’000 år sedan och fram till för 13’300 år sedan, var så stora delar av den Nordamerikanska kontinenten täckt av is, att någon mera omfattande människoinvandring knappast har kunnat ske. Den allra senaste invandringen beräknas ha skett så sent som ett par tusen år före Kristi Födelse. De sista människogrupper som då invandrade utgör de vi numera kallar Inuiter (Eskimåer). Eftersom havet då hade stigit över den tidigare landbryggan, måste denna sena invandring antingen ha skett med någon form av båt/kanot, eller så har det vintertid funnits tillräckligt med is för att människorna har kunnat ta sig över.

  • Chief Bill John Baker
    PRINCIPAL CHIEF BILL JOHN BAKER Bill John Baker is the Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, the largest sovereign tribal government in the United States. Born and raised in Cherokee County, Chief Baker has devoted much of his life in service to the Cherokee people. He spent 12 years as a member of the Cherokee Nation Tribal Council and was elected Principal Chief in October 2011 and re-elected in July 2015. As a member of the Tribal Council, Chief Baker worked tirelessly to improve education, health care and job creation throughout the Cherokee Nation. Chief Baker believes in integrity, accountability and honesty. Those are the things he brings to the office of Principal Chief. During his tenure as Chief, he has made a commitment to homes, health and hope for Cherokee people. Under his leadership, new home construction resumed for the first time in a decade, and now more than 500 new homes have been built for Cherokee Nation citizens. He also advocated for a $100 million allocation from Cherokee Nation Businesses’ casino profits, which was directly invested to expand the tribe’s health care system. In 2017, Cherokee Nation broke ground on a new, 470,000-square-foot health care facility in the tribe’s capital city of Tahlequah. The Cherokee Nation has also expanded and built new health centers across the 14-county tribal jurisdiction, which means no Cherokee has to drive more than 30 miles for quality health care. Over the past six years, more academic scholarships have been awarded than ever before in the history of the tribe, and every eligible applicant who applied was awarded a Cherokee Nation academic scholarship last year.
