Author: ATHENS, Alabama — Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials will discuss the 2010 performance of TVA’s Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant on May 31 in Athens.
The NRC said in a statement Wednesday the meeting will be held in the plant’s training center auditorium.
Spokesman Roger Hannah said such meetings are held for every nuclear plant and the Browns Ferry discussion “isn’t a result of anything that has happened recently.”
The NRC found that Browns Ferry overall operated safely in 2010 but Hannah said a “red” level violation with a low pressure coolant injection valve in October will be discussed. He said a recent valve shutdown at Browns Ferry was not “terribly safety significant” since it lasted just 40 minutes.
