Environmental Review for Renewal of Operating Licenses: Public Meeting

Résumé

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff will meet with the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) and Yankee Atomic Electric Company (YAEC) to discuss their written comments that are responsive to the States' concerns regarding NRC's proposed rule on the environmental review required for renewal of nuclear power plant operating licenses. These concerns focus on provisions of the proposed rule that the States see as being in conflict with the traditional authority of the States to regulate electric utilities with respect to non-safety aspects of nuclear power generation. The purpose of the meeting is to assure that the NRC staff and the public understands the approaches proposed by NEI and YAEC.
