Dothan, AL – Federal regulators have scheduled a meeting to discuss 2009 safety performance at the Farley Nuclear Plant in southeast Alabama.
The meeting, which will be open to the public, will be March 30, starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn, 171 Hospitality Lane in Dothan.
The plant, operated by Southern Nuclear Operating Co., has been under scrutiny following recent findings.
One inspection, completed in February, was related to the plant being cited for failure to properly maintain the system for communicating with all nearby residents in the event of an emergency.
Before and after the presentation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will be available to answer questions on the safety performance of the Farley plant, as well as the NRC role in ensuring safe plant operation.
