NRC NEWS U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Office of Public Affairs, Region II 245 Peachtree Center Ave., NE, Suite 1200 Atlanta, GA 30303-1257 Site: www.nrc.gov Blog: http://public-blog.nrc-gateway.gov No: II-12-048 July 16, 2012 CONTACT: Roger Hannah (404) 997-4417 E-mail: OPA2.Resource@nrc.gov Joey Ledford (404) 997-4416 NRC SCHEDULES PUBLIC MEETING TO DISCUSS MOX FACILITY The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has scheduled a public meeting for Tuesday, July 24, to discuss the status of the Mixed Oxide or MOX Fuel Fabrication Facility construction project focusing on NRC inspection and oversight.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. at the Hydrogen Research Center on the Savannah River Research Campus, 301 Gateway Dr., New Ellenton, S.C. People attending the meeting will not be required to go through Savannah River site security. The NRC staff will available to answer any questions after the formal portion of the meeting.
The MOX facility, being constructed by Shaw Areva MOX Services, is located at the U.S. Department of Energys Savannah River site near Aiken, S.C. The facility will be owned by the DOEs National Nuclear Security Administration and will convert supplies of surplus weapons-grade plutonium into more proliferation-resistant forms by blending it with uranium.
Converting the plutonium into MOX fuel will enable it to be used in commercial reactors to generate electricity. The NRC issued a construction authorization for the facility in March 2005.
NOTE: Anyone wishing to take photos or use a camera to record any portion of a NRC meeting should contact the Office of Public Affairs beforehand.
