Diane Screnci, 610-337-5330 Neil Sheehan, 610-337-5331 NRC to Hold Public Meeting on June 21 in Hampton, N.H.,

Regarding Performance of Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will share information on its annual assessment of safety performance at the Seabrook nuclear power plant during a public meeting on Tuesday, June 21, in Hampton, N.H.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Best Western Plus - The Inn at Hampton, at 815 Lafayette Road. During the meeting, NRC staff will answer questions regarding the plants performance and the agencys oversight activities at the Seabrook, N.H., plant, which is owned by NextEra. In addition, the staff will be prepared to address the topic of concrete degradation at the facility. The NRCs reviews in that area are ongoing.

Immediately preceding the meeting will be an open house. From 5:30 to 6:15 p.m., NRC staff will be available at the same location to talk on a one-on-one basis with members of the public about plant-related topics.

Determinations on performance are based on a combination of inspection findings and performance indicators utilized by the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process, the foundational program used by the agency to complete its mission of assessing plant safety. The findings and indicators are classified by color, ranging from green, for an issue of very low safety or security significance, to white, yellow or red, representing high safety or security significance.

Based on agency reviews, the NRC determined that the Seabrook plant, a single pressurized-water reactor, operated safely during 2015. As of the end of last year, the plant had no inspection findings that were greater than green or no performance indicators that were other than green. The facility will therefore receive the NRCs normal battery of reviews, barring any changes.

In 2015, the NRC performed approximately 5,470 hours0.00544 days <br />0.131 hours <br />7.771164e-4 weeks <br />1.78835e-4 months <br /> of inspection at Seabrook. While our oversight of each facility is an ongoing activity, these annual assessments allow us to step back at regular intervals and size up plant performance and make any necessary adjustments, NRC Region I Administrator Dan Dorman said. In the case of Seabrook, the plants current performance qualifies for our normal level of oversight.

The NRC issues reports on performance at each plant twice a year: during the mid-cycle, or mid-point, of the year, and at the conclusion of the year. Inspection findings and performance indicators

are also updated on a quarterly basis on the agencys website. Following the release of the annual assessment letters each March, the NRC meets with the public in the vicinity of each plant to discuss the results. Normal inspections are carried out by the two Resident Inspectors assigned to Seabrook.

Reviews are also performed at the site by specialist inspectors assigned to the agencys Region I Office in King of Prussia, Pa.

Among the areas undergoing inspections this year at Seabrook are radiological safety, emergency preparedness and the plants program for identifying and resolving problems. In addition, the NRC will be inspecting the plants implementation of post-Fukushima requirements.

The annual assessment letter for Seabrook, as well as the notice for the June 21st meeting, are available on the NRC website. Current performance information is also available for Seabrook.
