December 1, 1998

Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Shirley Ann Jackson will visit the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Site Thursday, December 3 and Friday, December 4 to tour portions of the facility and meet with site officials. In a news release issued yesterday, it was announced that Chairman Jackson would be available Friday at 12:30 p.m. to discuss her visit and answer questions from interested news media representatives. That media availability will now be Friday at 11:00 a.m.

In addition, interested photographers and videographers will be able to get pictures of Chairman Jackson during her visit at 9:00 a.m. Friday. Any media representative interested in photos or video should plan to arrive at the site by 8:00 a.m. for security processing and should contact Bill Taylor at 803-725-2889 before Friday.

Media representatives coming to the site for either the photo or media availability or both should go to the same location:

Media representatives coming from Augusta should go south on Highway 125 past the Town of Jackson. Turn left on Road SR-1 at large blue "Savannah River Site" sign (do not go to the barricade). Travel east for about three miles and there will be several buildings and large parking lots on your right. Go past the entrance sign, turn right at the "Aiken (parking) Lot" sign into the parking lot. Go to the end of the parking lot, turn right and media parking will be reserved. Enter at the gate in the green chain link fence into Building 703-41A. Security and public affairs representatives will be there to assist you.

To get there from Aiken, go south on Highway 19 past the Town of New Ellenton. Just after the traffic light that intersects Highway 278, there will be a large blue "Savannah River Site" sign. Turn right on Highway SR-1 (do not go to the barricade). Travel west for about five miles. Go past the traffic light, and turn left at the "Aiken (parking) Lot" sign into the parking lot. Go to the end of the parking lot, turn right and media parking will be reserved. Enter at the gate in the green chain link fence into Building 703-41A. Security and public affairs representatives will be there to assist you.
