NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-003]
Consolidated Edison Company; Indian Point Nuclear Generating
Station Unit 1; Notice of Public Meeting
The NRC will conduct a second public meeting at Village Hall, 236
Tate Avenue, Buchanan, New York, on October 21, 1998, to discuss plans
developed by Consolidated Edison Company (Con Edison licensee) to
decommission the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Station Unit 1. The
Indian Point Station, located in Buchanan, New York, includes the
permanently shutdown Unit 1 and two operating units, Unit 2 and Unit 3.
Unit 2 is operated by Con Edison, and Unit 3 by New York Power
Authority. The meeting is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.--9:30 p.m., and will
be chaired by Mr. Alfred J. Donahue, Mayor of the Village of Buchanan,
New York. The public meeting is being held pursuant to the NRC's
regulations in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section
50.82(a)(4) regarding the requirement for the submission of a post-
shutdown decommissioning activities report (PSDAR) by the licensee
following permanent cessation of operation and the holding of a public
meeting by the NRC on the PSDAR. Con Edison submitted a decommissioning
plan, which was approved by the NRC in January 1996, prior to the rule
change promulgated at 31 FR 39301 (July 29, 1996), requiring a PSDAR.
Decommissioning plans approved prior to the revision are considered to
meet the requirement for a PSDAR and are subject to the revised
regulations, including the requirement for a public meeting. The
meeting will include a short presentation by the NRC staff on the
decommissioning process and NRC programs for monitoring decommissioning
activities with attention being given to the licensee's decommissioning
plans. There will be a presentation by Con Edison on planned
[[Page 53466]]
decommissioning activities, and there will be an opportunity for
members of the public to ask questions of the NRC staff and Con Edison
representatives and make comments on the planned activities. The
meeting will be transcribed.
Con Edison's decommissioning plan provides a short discussion of
the plant history, a description of the unit's radiological conditions,
and a description and schedule of planned decommissioning activities.
This decommissioning plan and the NRC's safety evaluation associated
with the plan are available for public inspection at the White Plains
Public Library, 100 Martie Avenue, White Plains, New York 10601. For
