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 public meeting at the New York State Armory,
955 Washington Street, Peekskill, New York 10566-5815, on January 20,
1999, to discuss plans developed by Consolidated Edison Company (Con
Edison) 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 is operated by Consolidated Edison Company, and Unit 3 by New York
Power Authority. The meeting is scheduled for 7:00--9:30 p.m., and will
be chaired by Mr. Francis X. Cameron, Deputy Assistant General Counsel
and Special Counsel for Public Liaison, NRC. 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 requirements of
a public meeting on the licensees plans for decommissioning the
facility as described in the post-shutdown decommissioning activities
report (PSDAR). Con Edison submitted a decommissioning plan, which was
approved by the NRC in January 1996, prior to the rule change
promulgated at 61 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 presentation by the NRC staff on the
decommissioning process and NRC programs for regulatory oversight of
decommissioning activities. There will also be a presentation by
Consolidated Edison Company on planned decommissioning activities.
There will be an opportunity for members of the public to ask questions
of NRC staff and Con Edison representatives and make comments related
to decommissioning of Indian Point Unit 1. 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 is available for public inspection at the White Plains
Public Library, 100 Martine Avenue, White Plains, NY 10601. For more
