NRC NEWS U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Office of Public Affairs Region III 2443 Warrenville Road Lisle IL 60532 No. III-10-017 May 18, 2010 Contacts: Viktoria Mitlyng 630-829-9662 E-Mail: opa3@nrc.gov Prema Chandrathil 630-829-9663 Web site: www.nrc.gov NRC SCHEDULES OPEN HOUSE TO DISCUSS CLINTON NUCLEAR POWER PLANT PERFORMANCE AND RELATED ISSUES JUNE 2 The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has scheduled an open house for Wednesday, June 2, to discuss with local residents the agencys assessment of safety performance for last year at the Clinton nuclear power plant and other NRC oversight activities. The plant, operated by Exelon Generating Company is in Clinton Ill., 24 miles northeast of Springfield.
The open house will be informal and begin at 6 p.m. CDT at the Elks Club, 1520 E.
South St., in Clinton.
The NRC continually reviews the performance of the Clinton plant and the nations other commercial nuclear power facilities, said NRC Region III Administrator Mark Satorius.
This meeting allows us to discuss our annual assessment of safety performance with members of the local community. The goal of this open house is to explain how the NRC works and answer questions from residents about nuclear regulation.
A letter sent from the NRC Region III office to plant officials addressed the performance of the plant during 2009 and will serve as the basis for the discussion. It is available on the NRC Web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/LETTERS/clin_2009q4.pdf.
Overall, the NRC found that the Clinton nuclear plant met all NRC safety objectives during 2009, and performance was at a level that resulted in no additional NRC oversight. The NRC uses color-coded inspection findings and performance indicators to assess nuclear plant performance. The colors start with green and then increase to white, yellow or red, commensurate with the safety significance of the issues involved.
All performance indicators and inspection findings for Clinton during 2009 were determined to be green. Performance indicators are a statistical measurement of plant and equipment performance.
Clinton will continue to receive the detailed inspection regime used by the NRC for plants that require no additional oversight. Routine inspections are performed by two NRC Resident Inspectors assigned to the plant and by inspection specialists from the Region III Office
in Lisle, Ill., and the agencys headquarters in Rockville, Md. Among the areas of plant operations currently being inspected are equipment design, fire protection, and radiation protection.
