On July 8, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff announced it will present a webinar July 16 for interested members of the public regarding the decommissioning of the Three Mile Island 1 nuclear power plant, located in Londonderry, Dauphin County.
The purpose of the webinar is to provide key facts about the decommissioning process and how the NRC regulates such activities through on-site inspections and other reviews.
The webinar will begin at 1 p.m. Participants will be able to view slides prepared by NRC staff and ask questions in writing via a webpage set up to host the session.
Public Hearing
The NRC will also hold a public meeting in Hershey on July 23 to discuss and accept public comments on Exelon’s Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report for Three Mile Island 1, which calls for placing the plant into long-term storage before dismantlement and decontamination work takes place.
The meeting will be held at the Sheraton Harrisburg Hershey, 4650 Lindle Road in Harrisburg from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Three Mile Island 1 is scheduled to permanently cease operations by Sept. 30, 2019.
The adjacent Three Mile Island 2 plant did not return to service following the March 1979 accident. It has a different owner and a PSDAR for that unit was submitted to the NRC in
June 2013.
