NRC STAFF TO MEET WITH TVA OFFICIALS IN ROCKVILLE |
||
Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials will meet with Tennessee Valley Authority officials from 1:00 until 3:00 p.m. (EDT) on Friday, Oct. 20 in Rockville, Md., to discuss the status of TVA’s restart efforts for the Unit 1 reactor at the Browns Ferry nuclear plant. The meeting, which is open to the public, will be held in the Two White Flint North Auditorium at the agency’s headquarters in Rockville. NRC officials will be available after the business portion of the meeting to answer questions from interested observers. The agenda for the meeting is to discuss the status of the Unit 1 recovery efforts, including completed work activities, schedules for future milestones, response to challenges, closure of restart items and other activities important to NRC oversight and inspection of Unit 1. All three units of the Browns Ferry plant were shut down in 1985 but retained NRC operating licenses. Unit 2 was restarted in 1991 and Unit 3 was restarted in 1995. TVA has been doing extensive work on Unit 1 and said it expects to have that unit ready to begin operating again sometime in the first half of 2007. |
