NRC TO MEET WITH ENTERGY TO DISCUSS FITZPATRICK PLANT PERFORMANCE Printable Version
Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will meet with representatives of Entergy Nuclear Northeast on Tuesday, April 9, to discuss the results of the agency's annual assessment of safety performance at the James A. FitzPatrick nuclear power plant. The facility is located in Scriba, N.Y., and operated by Entergy. The meeting, which will be open to the public for observation, is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. at the Joint New Center for the plant. The center is located at the Oswego County Airport, 40 Airport Drive, Fulton, N.Y. Before the session is adjourned, NRC staff will be available to answer questions from the public on the safety performance of the plant, as well as the role of the NRC in ensuring safe plant operation. The performance period to be discussed is April 1, 2001, to December 31, 2001. In addition, NRC staff will provide an overview of the agency's Reactor Oversight Process. A letter sent from the NRC Region I office to Entergy addresses the performance of the plant during the period and will serve as the basis for the meeting discussion.
