During the Feb. 13 public meeting, NRC staff will discuss its reviews and activities performed in these areas to support the agencys decision making and give an opportunity for the public to provide feedback and ask questions regarding the NRCs activities and plans. Registration for those seeking to speak will begin at 5:30 p.m.
