NRC TO MEET WITH SOUTHERN NUCLEAR OFFICIALS TO DISCUSS SAFETY PERFORMANCE AT HATCH NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will meet with Southern Nuclear Operating Company officials on Wednesday, June 27, to discuss the results of NRC's annual assessment of safety performance at the Hatch nuclear power plant.

The meeting will be held at 1:00 p.m. in the Visitors Center Auditorium at the plant site near Baxley, Georgia. The public is invited to observe the meeting. NRC officials will be available after the meeting to answer questions. The NRC will hold a second meeting with state and local government officials after the first meeting. That second meeting is also open to the public.

A letter sent from NRC Region II to Southern Nuclear, which addresses plant safety performance during the previous year and forms the basis of the meeting discussion, is available from the Region II Office of Public Affairs or on the NRC web site at www.nrc.gov/OPA/ppr. Current information for the plant is available at www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/HAT1/hat1_chart.html and www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/HAT2/hat2_chart.html.
