NRC TO DISCUSS ANNUAL PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT OF MILLSTONE POWER PLANT AT MARCH 20th MEETINGS Printable Version
Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will meet with representatives of Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc., on Thursday, March 20, to discuss the results of the agency’s annual assessment of safety performance at the Millstone Units 2 and 3 nuclear power plants. The facility is located in Waterford, Conn., and operated by Dominion Nuclear. The meeting between NRC staff and Dominion Nuclear, which will be open to the public for observation, is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. at the Leland F. Sillin, Jr., Nuclear Training Center, located at the plant on Rope Ferry Road in Waterford. NRC staff will also hold at a joint meeting at 7 p.m. the same day with Connecticut’s Nuclear Energy Advisory Council to discuss the annual assessment. That session will take place at Waterford Town Hall, 15 Rope Ferry Road in Waterford. Before both meetings are adjourned, NRC staff will be available to answer questions from the public on the safety performance of the Millstone plant, as well as the role of the NRC in ensuring safe plant operation. The performance period to be discussed is January 1 to December 31, 2002. In addition, NRC staff will provide an overview of how the agency’s Reactor Oversight Process works. A letter sent from the NRC Region I Office to Dominion Nuclear addresses the performance of the plant during the period and will serve as the basis for the meeting discussion.
