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-05-046 December 9, 2005 CONTACT: Ken Clark (404)562-4416 E-mail: OPA2@nrc.gov Roger Hannah (404)562-4417 NRC MEETING WITH SOUTHERN NUCLEAR CANCELLED Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Southern Nuclear Operating Co. officials have agreed to cancel a meeting scheduled in Atlanta for 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 15 to discuss several issues at the Hatch nuclear plant in southern Ga. The details of that meeting were announced in NRC News Release II-05-045 issued on Dec. 7.
Among the issues on the meetings agenda had been the current status of nuclear material inventory issues at the plant. The NRC continues to closely monitor Southern Nuclears review of the disposition of pieces of spent nuclear fuel which cannot be accounted for in the spent fuel storage pools at the Hatch plant. Once the NRC staff completes its evaluation of the issue, it is likely that the agency will schedule a meeting with the company to discuss it.
Any future meeting will be announced in a news release and on the NRCs web site at www.nrc.gov /public-involve/public-meetings/index.cfm.
