NRC SCHEDULES SPECIAL INSPECTION EXIT MEETING AT BRUNSWICK
PLANT
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has scheduled a public exit meeting at
Carolina Power & Light's (CP&L) Brunswick nuclear power plant in Southport to discuss
the results of an NRC inspection into potential tampering events at the plant last week.
The meeting is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Friday, November 15, in the plant's Training
Center.
The potential tampering events involved locks on the plant site that some person or
persons attempted to disable. An NRC inspector from the Region II office in Atlanta has
been conducting a special inspection this week and will present preliminary results of that
inspection at the public exit meeting.
CP&L took additional security measures after the potential tampering was
discovered and continues to investigate the incidents. The NRC inspection is looking at
CP&L's security program in place before the events and the company's responses to the
potential tampering.
