NRC TO HOLD TWO PUBLIC MEETINGS ON PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION Printable Version
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold two public meetings in Tonopah, Ariz., on performance improvements at the PaloVerde Nuclear Generating Station. Palo Verde, which is operated by Arizona Public Service Co., is located 55 miles west of Phoenix. The NRC will meet with APS officials at 6:30 p.m. on June 6, at the Saddle Mountain Unified School District Administration Building Board Room, 38201 W. Indian School Road, Tonopah, to discuss the status and focus areas for Palo Verde’s performance improvement plan. NRC officials will also discuss plans for a comprehensive inspection at Palo Verde. The meeting is between NRC staff and APS officials, but members of the public will have an opportunity to observe the meeting and ask questions of NRC staff prior to the end of the meeting. The NRC also will hold a “Town Hall” style meeting with the public at 6:30 p.m. on June 7 to discuss issues of public interest related to Palo Verde. NRC staff will present a brief overview of activities at Palo Verde, then be available for questions and comments from the public. The meeting will be held in the Cafeteria of the Ruth Fisher Elementary School, 38201 W. Indian School Road, Tonopah.
