NRC DAVIS-BESSE OVERSIGHT PANEL TO MEET MAY 13 IN OHIO
Printable Version

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission Davis-Besse oversight panel will meet with FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company officials on Thursday, May 13, in Port Clinton, Ohio, to review recent operating performance and NRC inspection activities at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant.

The plant resumed operation in March after a two-year shutdown to replace the reactor vessel head and make other safety system and staff performance improvements.

The meeting will be held at 3 p.m. in the Lower Level of the Ottawa County Courthouse, 315 Madison Street, Port Clinton. The public is invited to observe the business portion of the meeting and will have an opportunity to make comments and ask questions of the NRC staff before the meeting is adjourned. The staff will also be available after the meeting for informal discussions with the public.

The utility will discuss operating experience over the past month, and the NRC staff will review recent inspection findings, including the around-the-clock inspections which were performed during the plant’s startup activities.

A transcript of the oversight panel meeting will be posted in several weeks on the NRC's web site - http://www.nrc.gov. Select "Davis-Besse/Reactor Vessel Head Degradation" from the Key Topics menu.

The NRC oversight panel includes NRC managers and staff from offices in Lisle, Illinois; Rockville, Maryland; and the Davis-Besse site.

Documents on the Davis-Besse corrosion issue, including further details on NRC's oversight panel activities, are posted on the NRC's web site.
