NRC NEWS UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION OFFICE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS, REGION II 61 Forsyth Street SW, Atlanta GA 30303 Web Site: www.nrc.gov No. II-05-044 November 28, 2005 CONTACT: Ken Clark (404)562-4416 E-mail: OPA2@nrc.gov Roger Hannah (404)562-4417 NRC RESTART PANEL TO MEET WITH TVA OFFICIALS IN ATHENS TO DISCUSS BROWNS FERRY UNIT 1 Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials are scheduled to meet with Tennessee Valley Authority officials at 9:00 a.m. (CST) on Wednesday, Dec. 7 to discuss the status of TVAs restart efforts for the Unit 1 reactor at the Browns Ferry nuclear plant in Alabama.

The meeting, which is open to the public, will be held at the Browns Ferry Site Training Center Auditorium in Athens, Ala. NRC officials will be available after the business portion of the meeting to answer questions from interested observers.

The agenda for the meeting will cover completed work activities, schedules for future milestones, challenges and other activities important to NRC oversight and inspection of Unit 1.

This is the fifth in a series of status meetings on Unit 1 restart, and the first since a restart panel was formed. Those meetings have been rotated between the Browns Ferry site, NRC headquarters in Rockville, Md., and the NRC Region II office in Atlanta. The last meeting was held in July in the Region II office in July.

All three units of the Browns Ferry plant were shut down in 1985 but retained NRC operating licenses. Unit 2 was restarted in 1991 and Unit 3 was restarted in 1995. TVA has been doing extensive work on Unit 1 and said it expects to have that unit ready to begin operating again by 2007.
