NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Notice of a Public Workshop to Discuss the Development of License
Termination Plans and Other Guidance to Support the Decommissioning of
Nuclear Facilities
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of workshop.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces the schedule and agenda for a Public
Workshop to address the issues associated with developing License
Termination Plans (LTPs) to support the decommissioning of nuclear
power reactors and guidance to support the decommissioning of all
nuclear facilities. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum
for NRC staff, the nuclear industry, other regulatory agencies, and
interested stakeholders to discuss the issues that need to be addressed
as nuclear power reactor licensees develop LTPs to support the
termination of their NRC licenses, as well as the guidance being
developed by the NRC to support the decommissioning of all nuclear
facilities.
DATES: August 18 and 19, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Two White Flint North, 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 21, 1998, (63 FR 56237) NRC
announced that it was sponsoring a series of public workshops to
support NRC staff's development of a Standard Review Plan (SRP) and
other guidance for the decommissioning of nuclear facilities. On August
18 and 19, 1999, NRC staff will hold a workshop on the issues
associated with the development of LTPs to support the decommissioning
of nuclear power reactors and the guidance being developed by the NRC
to support the decommissioning of all nuclear facilities. Presentations
and discussions on August 18, 1999, will focus on LTPs, and on August
19, 1999, discussions and presentations will focus on decommissioning
issues identified by State regulatory agencies and surveys to support
decommissioning.
An agenda for the workshop, which was developed by NRC in
conjunction with the Nuclear Energy Institute, the States, the Fuel
Cycle Facility Forum and other industry stakeholders, has been posted
on the NRC's Website at: http://www.nrc.gov/NMSS/DWM/DECOM/decomm.htm
under the ``NRC Standard Review Plan for Decommissioning'' heading.
The workshop will be held at the NRC Headquarters Auditorium, at
Two White Flint North, 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD. NRC
strongly encourages interested stakeholders to attend and participate
in this workshop, as it will offer a unique opportunity to provide NRC
staff and the nuclear power industry with insights, perspectives, and
information that stakeholders feel is important for the nuclear power
industry to consider during the development of LTPs and for NRC to
consider as it develops guidance for the decommissioning of licensed
facilities.
