The meeting will begin at 11:00 a.m. (CST) in the County Commissioners Chambers on the third floor of the Houston County Administration Building, 462 N. Oats Street, in Dothan. The meeting is open to observation by the public, and the NRC staff will be available to answer questions from interested observers following the meetings business portion but before it is adjourned.
On September 4 and 5, two different electrical breakers associated with component cooling water pumps on Unit 1 failed to close during testing. The NRC sent the initial AIT on Sept. 10 following those events. The NRC held a public meeting in Dothan on Sept. 20 to report on the initial AIT inspection findings. However, the initial inspection was extended on October 22 when additional inspectors were dispatched to the plant following an additional failure of a replacement breaker in the plants Residual Heat Removal System.
EDITORS: A telephone bridge line for interested news media representatives or citizens to call in and listen to the public meeting at 11:00 a.m. (CST) on November 19 has been established. Six lines will be available, and media organizations outside the Dothan area will have priority. Please call one of the above contact numbers if you wish to participate. You will be given a call number and a pass code at that time.
