The company is also expected to discuss the results of its efforts to improve both safety and regulatory compliance at its facility.

The Blended Low-Enriched Uranium (BLEU) Preparation Facility planned for the NFS site will not be discussed since the NRC has received a formal request for a hearing on that project.

The meeting will begin at 8 a.m. at the NFS Training Center in Erwin on Jackson Love Highway near Exit 15 on Interstate 181. Members of the public are invited to observe the meeting and will have an opportunity to ask questions of the NRC staff before the meeting is over.
