POSTED: APRIL 22, 2012
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has scheduled an open house for Wednesday, April 25 to discuss the agency’s assessment of safety performance during 2011 for the McGuire nuclear power plant. The plant, operated by Duke Energy, is located near Huntersville, N.C., about 17 miles north of Charlotte.
The session, which will be open to the public, is scheduled from 6-8 p.m. EDT in the McGuire Energy Explorium, 13339 Hagers Ferry Road in Huntersville. A formal presentation will begin at 6:30 p.m.
NRC staff will be available to answer questions on the safety performance of the McGuire plant, as well as the NRC role in ensuring safe plant operations.
Overall, the NRC staff concluded that the McGuire plant operated safely in 2011 and will receive normal detailed baseline oversight and inspection efforts. All inspection findings and performance indicators at the plant were “green,” meaning they had very low safety significance.
