NRC TO MEET WITH FPL OFFICIALS TO DISCUSS SAFETY
PERFORMANCE AT TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
Printable Version

The meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers Room of the Homestead City Hall, 790 N. Homestead Blvd., in Homestead, Florida. The public is invited to observe the meeting, and NRC officials will be available before the conclusion of the meeting to answer any questions.

A letter from the NRC to Florida Power & Light addresses plant safety performance during the previous year and forms the basis for the meeting discussions. The letter states that, overall, Turkey Point operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and that plant performance was at a level requiring no additional NRC inspection beyond normal baseline activities. The letter, which is available from Region II Public Affairs and on the NRC web site at www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/LETTERS/tp_2002q4.pdf , says the NRC staff will also conduct inspections of the plant’s implementation of NRC security advisories and Orders, and a review of the plant staff’s activities in response to an NRC Bulletin on reactor vessel heads and vessel head penetrations.

Current performance indicators for the two units at the Turkey Point plant are available at www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/TP3/tp3_chart.html and www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/TP4/tp4_chart.html
