The meeting, which is open to the public, will be held at the Colleges Aerospace Training Center (Building #27). Calhoun Community College is located at 6250 U.S. Highway 31 North in the Tanner community. NRC officials will be available after the business portion of the meeting to answer questions from interested observers.

The agenda for the meeting is to discuss the status of the Unit 1 restart efforts, including completed work, schedules, closure of restart items and other activities important to NRC oversight and inspection of Unit 1.

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 this spring. Just as with Units 2 and 3, Unit 1 cannot be restarted without NRC concurrence.
