NRC ANNOUNCES OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN HEARING ON

NEW REACTOR APPLICATION FOR TURKEY POINT SITE

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission today announced the opportunity for public

participation in a hearing on a Combined License (COL) application for two new reactors at the

Turkey Point site near Homestead, Fla.

Florida Power & Light submitted the COL application June 30, 2009, seeking approval to

build and operate two AP1000 reactors at the site, approximately 40 miles south of Miami. The

Turkey Point application, minus proprietary or security-related details, is available on the NRC

Web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/col/turkey-point.html .

The NRC staff has determined that the application contains sufficient information for the

agency to formally docket, or file, the application and begin its technical review. Docketing

the application does not preclude additional requests for information as the review proceeds; nor

does it indicate whether the Commission will issue the license. The docket numbers established

for this application are 52-040 and 52-041.

The NRC has issued in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to intervene in the

proceeding on the application, and the deadline for requesting a hearing is Aug. 17. Petitions

may be filed by anyone whose interest may be affected by the proposed license, who wishes to

participate as a party in the proceeding, and who meets criteria set out in the NRCs regulations.

Background information regarding the hearing process was provided by NRC staff to members

of the public during an April 2009 meeting in Homestead.

A petition to intervene must be electronically submitted in a timely manner to the NRC's

Electronic Information Exchange (EIE) system. The petition to intervene must be filed in

accordance with the NRC's E-Filing Rule that appeared in the Federal Register on Aug. 28, 2007

( http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2007/pdf/E7-16898.pdf ). Additional guidance and instructions

regarding electronic submissions to the NRC EIE system is available on the NRC web pages at

http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html .

Detailed information about the new reactor licensing process can be found on the NRC

Web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors.html .

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.
