NRC, TMI TO DISCUSS QUALITY CONTROL AT MIDDLETOWN, PA. PLANT

Quality control issues at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant will be discussed by Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff and the operator of the Middletown, Pa., facility at a meeting scheduled for Wednesday, July 16.

Representatives of plant operator GPU Nuclear Corp. will provide a presentation regarding a root cause assessment of the quality control issues. The NRC requested the assessment earlier this year in a confirmatory action letter sent to the utility.
