301/492-7771 NRC PUBLIC HEARING ON MONTICELLO PLANT IN MINNESOTA TO RESUME MAY 6 IN ST. PAUL The presiding Atomic Safety and Licensing Board has-scheduled a public hearing to resume on May 6 in St. Paul, Minnesota, in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing proceeding to consider the conversion of Northern States Power Company's provisional operating license for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant to a full-term operating license.
The hearing will resume at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, May 6, in Courtroom No.
2, United States Federal Courthouse, 316 North Roberts Street, St. Paul.
It has been in recess since November 1974, awaiting completion of some testimony.
The license conversion proceeding has been consolidated
(
with a hearing on environmental matters related to plant operation which was ordered by the former Atomic Energy Com-mission to carry out the purposes of the National Environ-mental Policy Act.
l l
The Monticello plant uses a boiling water reactor and has an electrical output of about 545 megawatts.
It is located on the west bank of the Mississippi River about three miles west of Monticello.
The provisional operating license was issued to the company by the AEC in September 1970.
A full term license would authorize operation of the facility for a period of 40 years from June 19, 1967, the date the construction permit was issued.
Members of the public are welcome to attend the hearing.
