NRC Meeting July 9 in Fulton to Discuss
Review Process for Expected New Reactor Application
Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will conduct a public meeting in Fulton, Mo., on Wednesday, July 9, to discuss how the agency will review an expected Combined License (COL) application for a new reactor at the Callaway site, about 10 miles southeast of Fulton. The prospective applicant, AmerenUE, has told the NRC it intends to apply later this year for a license to build and operate an Evolutionary Power Reactor (EPR) at the site.
The NRC will hold the meeting at Champ Auditorium, on Seventh Street on the Westminster College campus in Fulton, from 7 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. NRC staff presentations will describe the overall Combined License review process, which includes safety and environmental assessments, as well as how the public can participate in the process. The NRC will host an open house for an hour prior to the meeting so members of the public have the opportunity to talk informally with agency staff.
,br>A COL, if issued, provides NRC authorization to construct and, with conditions, operate a nuclear power plant at a specific site and in accordance with laws and regulations. More information on the NRC's new reactor licensing process is available on the agency's Web site.
