NRC TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETING MAY 22 ON WORK AUTHORIZATIONS |
|||||||||
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold a public meeting Tuesday, May 22, in Rockville, Md., to discuss recent changes in the agency’s rules regarding limited work authorizations (LWA) for new nuclear power plants. The NRC’s regulations now require a company to obtain a LWA before starting construction activities including pile-driving and foundation work for structures, systems or components with high importance to safe operation and security at a nuclear power plant. The meeting will discuss the revised regulations in more detail and provide guidance as to how they will be implemented. The public is invited to participate in this meeting and discuss issues with NRC staff at designated points in the agenda. The meeting will run from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Commissioners’ Hearing Room, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville. The new LWA regulations were announced in an April press release. |
