NRC to hold discussions about proposed N.C. enrichment plant
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold a May 10 meeting to tackle GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy's proposed laser-based uranium-enrichment plant in North Carolina. Discussions will focus on the project's safety evaluation and environmental-impact report. "The [safety evaluation report] contains the staff's conclusion that [GE Hitachi's] descriptions, specifications and analyses provide an adequate basis for safety and safeguards of facility operations and that operation of the facility would not pose an undue risk to workers or public health and safety," the agency said in a statement.
