Printable Version

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s staff will conduct a public meeting in Solomons, Md., on Tuesday, Aug. 14, to discuss how the agency will review a Combined License application for a new reactor at the Calvert Cliffs site, located 40 miles south of Annapolis. The applicant, UniStar, submitted one part of its application for a license to build and operate an Evolutionary Power Reactor at Calvert Cliffs on July 13.

“It’s important to the NRC that we keep the public near Calvert Cliffs well-informed of our review and their opportunities to participate in the licensing process,” said William Borchardt, Director of the NRC’s Office of New Reactors.

The meeting will be held at the Holiday Inn Select Solomons, 155 Holiday Drive, from 7 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. NRC staff will describe the overall Combined License review process, which includes safety and environmental assessments, as well as how the public can participate in the process. The NRC will host an open house for two hours prior to the meeting so members of the public have the opportunity to talk informally with agency staff.

UniStar’s environmental report is available on the NRC Web site at this address: http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-licensing/col.html. More information on the NRC’s new reactor licensing process is available on the agency’s Web site here: http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactor-licensing.html.
