Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Unit 2 issued the following announcement on Aug. 6.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will present a webinar for interested members of
the public on Aug. 8, regarding the decommissioning process for commercial nuclear power plants
and to obtain feedback on community advisory boards.
The webinar, which will begin at 1 p.m. EDT, will be held in conjunction with a series of
11 public meetings the NRC staff will be holding on the same topic during the next several months
at locations across the country. Participants will be able to view slides prepared by NRC staff and
ask questions both verbally and in writing via a webpage set up to host the session. Online
registration is required to participate.
Under Section 108 of the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act, which became
law on Jan. 14, 2019, the NRC is required to prepare a report for Congress on the best practices of
community advisory boards in communities around decommissioning nuclear power plants. Both
the webinar and the public meetings will help the NRC gather related information.
