NRC STAFF TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETING AT TURKEY POINT TO DISCUSS INSPECTION OF PLANT'S LICENSE RENEWAL PROGRAM
Officials of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission will meet with Florida Power & Light management at 9:00 a.m. Friday, September 14 at the Turkey Point nuclear power plant Nuclear Training Building near Florida City, Florida, to present the results of the NRC's second inspection of the Turkey Point license renewal program. The meeting is open to observation by the public. The NRC conducted a similar meeting at Turkey Point on June 8 to discuss results of the agency's initial inspection of the program. Florida Power & Light filed an application to renew the operating licenses of the two units at the Turkey Point plant in September 2000. NRC officials said there will be a report on the second inspection, which began August 20 and will end September 14. That report will be issued approximately 45 days after the meeting and will be available to the public. The meeting is between the NRC and Florida Power & Light but is open to observation by interested members of the public. NRC officials will be available after the meeting to answer any questions observers may have.
