The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) operates Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 (BFN) pursuant to NRC operating license (OL) numbers DPR-33, DPR-52, DPR-68, which expire on December 20, 2013, June 28, 2014, and July 2, 2016, respectively. TVA has prepared an Environmental Report (ER) (TVA 2003) in conjunction with its application for renewal of the BFN OLs, as provided for by the following NRC regulations: C Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 54, “Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants,” Section 54.23, Contents of application - environmental information (10 CFR 54.23).

The renewed OLs would allow up to 20 additional years of plant operation beyond the current licensed operating term. No major refurbishment or replacement of important systems, structures, or components are expected during the 20-year BFN license renewal term.

ZooKeys 77 : 1 – 16 . doi: 10.3897/ zookeys.77.935 Abstract Marstonia comalensis, a poorly known nymphophiline gastropod (originally described from Comal Creek, Texas) that has often been confused with Cincinnatia integra, is re-described and the generic placement of this species, which was recently allocated to Marstonia based on unpublished evidence, is confi rmed by anatomical study. Marstonia comalensis is a large congener having an ovate-conic, openly umbilicate shell and penis having a short fi lament and oblique, squarish lobe bearing a narrow gland along its distal edge. It is well diff erentiated morphologically from congeners having similar shells and penes and is also geneti- cally divergent relative to those congeners that have been sequenced (mtCOI divergence 3.0–8.5%).

McGregor, Elizabeth A. Wynn, and Jeffrey T. Garner ABSTRACT Sampling for freshwater mollusks and crayfish was conducted in springs, streams, swamps, and roadside ditches on and near Redstone Arsenal by the Geological Survey of Alabama in 2008 and 2009. Efforts yielded weathered dead valves of the Tennessee Clubshell, a species of highest conservation priority in Alabama, along with at least nine snail species, including species of highest and high conservation priority in Alabama, at least two taxa of fingernail clams, the Asian Clam, and eight crayfish species. INTRODUCTION The diversity of freshwater aquatic life in North America is centered in Alabama, owing to the geological antiquity of the state, the lack of glaciation, the abundance of large, discrete river basins, and a mild, stable climate, collectively providing ample time, separation, and ambient conditions for speciation (Boschung and Mayden, 2004; Williams and others, 2008). Freshwater mussels are considered one of the most imperiled faunal groups in North America based on the rapid extinction rate and preponderance of imperiled species (Master, 1993; Williams and others, 1993; Lydeard and Mayden, 1995) and drastic reductions in diversity and abundance of mussel populations are documented in many systems (Williams and others, 2008).

Current knowledge of the distribution of species of freshwater gastropods in the prairie states of South Dakota and Nebraska is sparse with no recent comprehensive studies. Historical surveys of gastropods in this region were conducted in the late 1800's to the early 1900's, and most current studies that include gastropods do not identify individuals to species.

    Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Society Freshwater Gastropod Identification Workshop “Showing your Shells” A Primer to Freshwater Gastropod Identification Editors Kathryn E. Perez, Stephanie A. Clark and Charles Lydeard University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Alabama 15-18 March 2004 Acknowledgments We must begin by acknowledging Dr. Jack Burch of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan. The vast majority of the information contained within this workbook is directly attributed to his extraordinary contributions in malacology spanning nearly a half century. His exceptional breadth of knowledge of mollusks has enabled him to synthesize and provide priceless volumes of not only freshwater, but terrestrial mollusks, as well. A feat few, if any malacologist could accomplish today. Dr. Burch is also very generous with his time and work.
