NRC TO MEET WITH ENTERGY
TO DISCUSS AUGMENTED INSPECTION TEAM FINDINGS
The meeting is open for public observation.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold a public meeting
with officials of Entergy Operations, Inc. Friday, May 31, to
discuss conclusions of the Augmented Inspection Team sent to the
plant last week. The meeting, which will be open for public
observation, will take place at 11 a.m. in Reeves E. Ritchie
Training Center Auditorium at Arkansas Nuclear One, near
Russellville, Arkansas.
The Augmented Inspection Team was sent to Arkansas Nuclear
One, Unit 1, following an electronics failure in the feedwater
system which lead to an unplanned plant shutdown. The shutdown
was complicated when main steam safety relief valves opened and
one of the valves failed to shut as designed. This lead to one
steam generator boiling dry.
There were no injuries or plant damage and repairs have been
completed. Unit 1 returned to full power operation late last
week. NRC officials will be prepared to answer questions from
the public or press after the meeting concludes.
