The meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Oct. 2 at the Eunice Community Center at 906 12th Street in Eunice. Its purpose is to discuss the results of the NRCs Assessment of Licensee Performance, which covers the period beginning with the issuance of the license to construct and operate the plant on June 23, 2006 through June 30, 2008.
The meeting is open to the public, and NRC officials will be available to answer questions from interested observers.
The discussion will include management measures, facility construction and facility support. In its report, the staff concluded that LES conducted its activities safely and in accordance with the license requirements. The staffs review did not identify a need for any improvement in those three areas, though it did identify a technical violation in the area of configuration management.
When completed, the gas centrifuge uranium enrichment plant will process fuel for nuclear power plants.
