NRC OVERSIGHT
PANEL TO HOLD TWO MEETINGS ON DAVIS-BESSE REACTOR |
||
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will hold two meetings on Tuesday, December 10, to review the status and adequacy of recent activities at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station as a result of the corrosion damage to the reactor vessel head. The plant, which has been shut down since February 16, is operated by FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company. Both meetings will be at the Camp Perry Clubhouse, 1000 Lawrence Road, Bldg. 600, in Port Clinton. The first meeting will begin at 2 p.m. (EST), when the NRC oversight
panel, set up to coordinate the agency's activities associated with the
corrosion damage to the reactor vessel head, will meet with utility officials.
The meeting will focus on the status of repairs at the plant, results
of recent NRC inspections and upcoming activities. The public is invited
to observe the business portion of the meeting and will have an opportunity
to make comments and ask questions of the NRC staff before the meeting
is adjourned. Transcripts of both meetings will be posted on the NRC's web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/ops-experience/vessel-head-degradation.html. The NRC oversight panel, created on April 29, includes NRC management and staff from its Region III office in Lisle, Illinois; the NRC Headquarters office in Rockville, Maryland; and the NRC Resident Inspector Office at the Davis-Besse site. Documents on the Davis-Besse corrosion issue, including further details on NRC's oversight panel activities, are posted on the NRC's web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/ops-experience/vessel-head-degradation.html. |
