The plant resumed operation in March after a two-year shutdown to replace the reactor vessel head and make other safety system and staff performance improvements.

The meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. in the Oak Harbor High School Auditorium, 11661 West State Rt. 163, Oak Harbor. The public is invited to observe the business portion of the meeting and will have an opportunity to make comments and ask questions of the NRC staff before the meeting is adjourned. The staff will also be available after the meeting for informal discussions with the public.

We expect to hear from utility officials how they assess their performance since the plant resumed operation in March, said John Grobe, Chairman of the NRC Oversight Panel. In addition, we will discuss the findings of recent NRC inspections at the plant.

A transcript of the oversight panel meeting will be posted in several weeks on the NRC's web site - http://www.nrc.gov. Select "Davis-Besse/Reactor Vessel Head Degradation" from the Key Topics menu.

The NRC oversight panel includes NRC managers and staff from offices in Lisle, Illinois; Rockville, Maryland; and the Davis-Besse site.
