NRC TO MEET WITH NIAGARA MOHAWK POWER CORPORATION TO DISCUSS PERFORMANCE AT NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will meet with representatives of Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation on Tuesday, June 19, to discuss the results of the agency's annual assessment of safety performance at the Nine Mile Point 1 and 2 nuclear power plants.

The meeting, which will be open to the public for observation, is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. in the Nine Mile Point Training Center at the plant, located on Lake Road in Scriba, N.Y. NRC officials will be available afterwards to answer questions.

The performance period to be discussed is April 1, 2000, to March 31, 2001. Overall, the NRC found that the plants operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives during the period. A letter sent from the NRC Region I office to Niagara Mohawk addresses plant performance during the period and will serve as the basis for the meeting discussion.
