SUMMARY
OF PUBLIC SCOPING MEETINGS CONDUCTED RELATED TO THE REVIEW OF THE VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION (TAC NO. MC9670)
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff conducted environmental scoping meetings related to the review of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VYNPS) license renewal applications submitted by Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy). Two public meetings were conducted on Wednesday, June 7, 2006, at the Latchis Theatre, 50 Main Street, Brattleboro, Vermont. Approximately 200 people attended the meetings. The attendees included members of the public, representatives of the NRC staff, NRC contractors from Argonne National Laboratory, Entergy, the applicant, local citizen organizations, and local news media. Public comments and questions addressed a wide range of issues including spent fuel storage and disposal, emergency planning, security, and alternatives to license renewal.
In addition to the public meetings, the staff held an extended open house related to the environmental review scoping process in the vicinity of VYNPS on June 6, 2006. The open house provided members of the public with an opportunity to talk informally with the staff and view NRC informational displays and brochures. Approximately 25 people attended the open house.
A combined listing of attendees for the public meetings and the extended open house is provided in Enclosure 1. Enclosure 2 is a copy of the meeting handout provided during the extended open house.
