Watson, CHP, Chief Reactor Decommissioning Branch Division of Decommissioning, Uranium Recovery and Waste Programs Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards FROM: Kim Conway, Project Manager //RA//
Reactor Decommissioning Branch Division of Decommissioning, Uranium Recovery and Waste Programs Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards ACTIVITY: Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act (NEIMA)

SUBJECT:
SUMMARY
OF THE SEPTEMBER 10, 2019, PUBLIC MEETING NEAR THE VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION REGARDING THE ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION OF COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARDS
Background
On September 10, 2019, a Category 3 public meeting was held between U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff, members of the public and interested stakeholders at the Brattleboro Area Middle School, 109 Sunny Acres, Brattleboro, Vermont. The purpose of the meeting was to assist the NRC staff in identifying best practices and lessons learned for establishment and operation of local community advisory boards (CABs) associated with power reactor decommissioning activities.
These actions are being taken in response to Section 108 of NEIMA, which was signed into law on January 14, 2019, and requires the NRC to provide a report to Congress no later than July 14, 2020, identifying best practices for establishing and operating local community advisory boards to foster communication and information exchange between a decommissioning licensee and the local community, including lessons learned from such organizations.

A list of attendees is provided in (note that the names of some participants were not captured), the meeting transcript is available in ADAMS at Accession No. ML19317D077, and is linked in Enclosure 2.
Meeting On September 10, 2019, the NRC staff held a public meeting to discuss the agencys activities in accordance with Section 108 of NEIMA to collect information on the use of local community advisory boards during decommissioning activities and issue a best practices report. The contents of this report will include a description of the type of topics that could be brought before a community advisory board; how the board's input could inform the decision-making process of stakeholders for various decommissioning activities; how the board could interact with the NRC and other Federal regulatory bodies to promote dialogue between the licensee and affected stakeholders; and how the board could offer opportunities for public engagement throughout all phases of the decommissioning process. The report will also include a discussion of the composition of existing community advisory boards and best practices identified during the establishment and operation of such boards, including logistical considerations, frequency of meetings, and the selection of board members.
Representatives from the NRC staff gave a presentation on the requirements of NEIMA Section 108, and presented the various methods to provide feedback on best practices and lessons learned from community advisory boards. This presentation can be found in ADAMS at Accession No. ML19248C230, and is linked in Enclosure 3. Additional information on NEIMA Section 108, as well as an electronic means of providing comments, are available at the NRC public website at https://www.nrc.gov/waste/decommissioning/neima-section-108.html.
At the end of the presentation, the NRC staff received feedback from members of the public and other stakeholders on the various topics outlined in NEIMA Section 108. The comments and questions received are summarized in Enclosure 4, and focused primarily on the membership of community panels, the independence of the panel as an advisory body, and the ways in which the panel can establish and maintain outreach with the community. To date, no Public Meeting Feedback forms were received.
Brattleboro Community Television recorded the meeting, and the video can be viewed at https://www.brattleborotv.org/nuclear-regulatory-commission-hearings/nrc-91019-mtg.

SUMMARY
OF COMMENTS FROM THE SEPTEMBER 10, 2019, PUBLIC MEETING NEAR THE VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION REGARDING THE ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION OF COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARDS During the public comment portion of the Vermont Yankee NEIMA Section 108 public meeting, the NRC staff received feedback from members of the public and other stakeholders on the various topics outlined in NEIMA Section 108 regarding best practices and lessons learned for community advisory boards. Comments and feedback were received on the following topics:
- A community advisory board (CAB) should be established early to allow the public to weigh in on what the community would like to see from a CAB regarding its purpose, function, and composition.
- Early CAB formation is helpful, as there is a significant learning curve for CAB members and the public at the beginning of the decommissioning process.
- In order for a CAB to be effective, all parties must buy into the process genuinely.
- Significant resources are required for the operation of a CAB. How should a CAB be funded? Should citizen members of the CAB be compensated for the time they devote?
- What jurisdiction should a CAB represent? Local community, State community?
- CAB meetings should be well planned and advertised in advance, with time allocated for public comments.
- The CAB should be independent from the licensee and other related parties. Licensee participation is important, but they should not be voting members of the CAB.
- It is important for CABs to share what they learn.
- CABs should regularly assess whether changes to the membership, structure, or duties are appropriate.
- A variety of special topics have been discussed at CAB meetings at the request of panel members and public comments. The CAB provides a means of educating panelists and the public about many aspects of decommissioning and site restoration.
- CABs are a conduit through which agencies and licensees interact with one another in a very public venue, and there is value in the public seeing this interaction.
- The community should consider whether there is any reason to bifurcate engagement related to decommissioning and socioeconomic impact planning.
- Different models of CABs can work well. One size does not fit all. Examples were given of successful licensee-sponsored and State-sponsored CABs.
