Diane Screnci, 610/337-5330 Email: opa1@nrc.gov Neil Sheehan, 610/337-5331 NRC SEEKING PUBLIC COMMENT ON PROPOSED RELEASE OF LAND FROM GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will meet with the public on Wednesday, September 28, in Ontario, N.Y., to obtain comments on a proposal to release part of the R.E. Ginna nuclear power plant for unrestricted use.

The meeting will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at the R.E. Ginna Training Center, 1517 Lake Ontario Road in Ontario.

Constellation Nuclear, which operates Ginna, sent the NRC a letter on May 20 requesting the release of a part of the site for unrestricted use. (The document is available from the NRCs electronic database at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams/web-based.html. The accession number is ML051530448.) Before approving the proposed partial site release, the NRC must determine that the company has met the criteria for such a release. The 15-acre tract of land consists of two adjacent parcels on the western edge of the site boundary. Its entirely outside of the exclusion area.

Documents related to this action, including the application and supporting documentation, are accessible electronically from the Agencywide Documents Access and Management Systems Public Electronic Reading Room at the NRCs web site: www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. Those without access to ADAMS should contact the NRCs Public Document Room (PDR) staff at 800/397-4209. The PDR reproduction contractor will copy documents for a fee.

To expedite the required visitor processing and to assure adequate accommodations, prospective attendees are encouraged to contact Shannine DiMora at 315/524-6935 prior to the meeting.
