NRC ISSUES MID-CYCLE ASSESSMENTS FOR ALL U.S. NUCLEAR PLANTS
Printable Version

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued mid-cycle assessment letters for 103 operating nuclear power plants and posted them to its Web site.

The letters show that U.S. commercial nuclear power plants continue to operate safely. Every six months each plant receives either a mid-cycle review letter or an annual assessment letter along with an NRC inspection plan. Updated information on plant performance is posted to the NRC Web site every quarter. The next annual assessment letters will be issued in March 2007.

The assessment letters for each plant will be available on the NRC Web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/listofasmrpt.html and through ADAMS, the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System. Help in using ADAMS is available from the NRC Public Document Room by calling (301) 415-4737 or (800) 397-4209.
