The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) will hold a public meeting Nov. 3-5 in Rockville, Md., to discuss, among other items, the license renewal application for the Point Beach nuclear power plant units 1 and 2 in Wisconsin. The committee will also discuss a generic letter on electrical grid reliability and the impact on nuclear plant risk, General Electric’s new economic simplified boiling water reactor design, and an ACRS report on the NRC Safety Research Program.

The meeting will be held in Room T-2B3 of the agency’s Two White Flint North building, at 11545 Rockville Pike. It will begin at 8:30 a.m. each day and end at 7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday; the session on Saturday will end at 1:30 p.m. A complete agenda is available on the NRC’s Web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/acrs/agenda/2005/. Anyone with questions or those wanting to make public statements during the meeting should contact Sam Duraiswamy at 301-415-7364.

The ACRS, as mandated by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, advises the Commission on licensing, the operation of nuclear power plants and related safety issues.
