United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Public Affairs Washington, DC 20555 Phone 301-415-8200 Fax 301-415-2234 Internet:opa@nrc.gov No.97-067 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Friday, May 2, 1997)
NRC ISSUES FINAL INITIAL DECISION ON LOUISIANA ENERGY SERVICES LICENSE APPLICATION The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Atomic Safety and Licensing Board has issued a fourth and final initial decision on the application of Louisiana Energy Services for a license to build and operate a uranium enrichment plant in Claiborne Parish near Homer, La.
The decision addresses the environmental justice contention filed by Citizens Against Nuclear Trash, a party to the proceeding.
The decision, which can be appealed to the Commission, denies the applicant's requested authorization for a license, without prejudice to the applicant amending its license application in accordance with the initial decision.
A copy of the 91-page decision is available on the NRC Office of Public Affairs home page at:
Copies will also be mailed to the news media on request.
