NRC SETS PUBLIC MEETING WITH EXELON ON OCT. 9 TO DISCUSS RESULTS OF INSPECTION INTO SECURITY ISSUES AT PEACH BOTTOM Printable Version
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will discuss the results of an inspection conducted to review security issues at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station in Delta, Pa. The plant is operated by Exelon. The meeting, which will be between NRC staff and Exelon, is scheduled to be held Oct. 9, at 6:30 p.m. at the Peach Bottom Inn, 6085 Delta Road, in Delta, Pa. It will be open to the public for observation and there will be an opportunity for members of the public to ask questions to NRC staff members before the session is adjourned. On Sept. 20, the NRC announced that it was sending an Augmented Inspection Team (AIT) to the plant. The team was made up of staff from both Region I in King of Prussia, Pa., and NRC Headquarters in Rockville, Md. It was tasked with looking into information that security officers may have been inattentive while on duty at Peach Bottom. An inspection report detailing the team’s findings will be issued within about 30 days after the meeting.
