The NRC presentation for the Annual Assessment Meeting included information on the NRC Organization, Reactor Oversight Program (ROP), and the results of NRC's performance assessment for Vermont Yankee.

At the end of the meeting between the NRC and Entergy, public attendees were offered the opportunity to ask questions of NRC officials.

Questions raised by members of the public and local media were also addressed by the NRC.
