NRC MEETING WITH SOUTHERN NUCLEAR CANCELLED Printable Version
Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Southern Nuclear Operating Co. officials have agreed to cancel a meeting scheduled in Atlanta for 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 15 to discuss several issues at the Hatch nuclear plant in southern Ga. The details of that meeting were announced in NRC News Release II-05-045 issued on Dec. 7. Among the issues on the meeting’s agenda had been the current status of nuclear material inventory issues at the plant. The NRC continues to closely monitor Southern Nuclear’s review of the disposition of pieces of spent nuclear fuel which cannot be accounted for in the spent fuel storage pools at the Hatch plant. Once the NRC staff completes its evaluation of the issue, it is likely that the agency will schedule a meeting with the company to discuss it. Any future meeting will be announced in a news release and on the NRC’s web site at www.nrc.gov/public-involve/public-meetings/index.cfm.
