Dave Gasperson 404-997-4417 NRC Schedules Public Meeting to Discuss H.B. Robinson Nuclear Power Plant 2022 Safety Performance

Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will discuss the 2022 safety performance of the H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant during a public meeting scheduled for April 12. The single-unit Robinson plant is located near Hartsville, South Carolina, and operated by Duke Energy.

The event will run from 6 -7 p.m. Eastern time, at the Hartsville Library, 147 W. College Avenue in Hartsville. NRC employees responsible for plant inspections, including the resident inspectors based full-time at the site, will be available to answer questions at the meeting.

NRC resident inspectors and other specialist inspectors from the NRC Region II office in Atlanta perform inspecti ons at the Robinson plant. They concluded that Robinson operated safely during 2022 and all inspection findings and performance indicators were green or of very low safety significance. As a result, the plant remains under the NRCs normal level of oversight, which entails thousands of hours of inspection each year.

The NRC Reactor Oversight Process uses color-coded inspection findings and indicators to measure plant performance. The colors start at green and increase to white, yellow or red, commensurate with the safety significance of the issues involved. Inspection findings or performance indicators with more than very low safety significance trigger increased NRC oversight.

The annual assessment letter and the meeting notice are available on the NRC website.

Current performance information for the plant is available and updated quarterly.
