NRC ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY OF LICENSE RENEWAL
APPLICATION FOR POINT BEACH NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
Printable Version

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is announcing that copies of an application for a 20-year renewal of the operating licenses for Units 1 and 2 at the Point Beach nuclear power plant are available to interested parties. Nuclear Management Company, LLC submitted the application on February 26.

The Point Beach plant is located near Two Rivers, Wisconsin, and the current operating licenses for Units 1 and 2 expire on October 5, 2010, and March 8, 2013, respectively.

A copy of the application is available on the NRC web site at this address: http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/applications/point-beach.html. The application is available through the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). Help in using ADAMS is available by contacting the NRC Public Document Room staff at 301-415-4737 or 800-397-4209.

In addition, a copy of the license renewal application will be available at the Lester Public Library, at 1001 Adams Street, Two Rivers, Wisconsin.

The NRC staff is currently conducting an initial review of the application to determine whether it contains enough information for the required formal review. If the application has sufficient information, the NRC will formally “docket,” or file, the application and will announce an opportunity to request a public hearing.
