Victor Dricks E-Mail: opa4@nrc.gov Phone: 817-860-8128 NRC TO MEET WITH NEBRASKA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT TO DISCUSS RECENT INSPECTION AT COOPER NUCLEAR STATION Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will meet with representatives of Nebraska Public Power District on January 22, to present the NRCs findings resulting from a recent inspection of Cooper Nuclear Station, located near Nebraska City, Nebraska. The inspection was associated with the Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) issued on January 30, 2003.

The meeting, which will be open to the public for observation, is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. at Brownville Concert Hall, Atlantic Avenue and Second Street, Brownville, Neb.

Before the session is adjourned, NRC staff will be available to answer questions from the public.

Since April 2002, Cooper has been subject to increased NRC oversight because of plant performance problems. The CAL describes steps Nebraska Public Power District officials agreed to take to improve plant performance.

The CAL can be found in the agency's electronic document system (ADAMS) using the documents access number ML030310263. ADAMS can be accessed through the NRCs web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams/web-based.html. Help in using ADAMS is available by contacting the NRC Public Document Room at (301) 415-4737 or 1-800-397-4209.
