NRC to Conduct Public Webinar on Oyster Creek

Nuclear Power Plant Decommissioning Topics

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will present a webinar for interested members of the public on July 2 regarding the decommissioning of the Oyster Creek nuclear power plant, located in Lacey Township (Ocean County), N.J.

The purpose of the webinar is to provide key facts about the decommissioning process and how the NRC regulates such activities through on-site inspections and other reviews.

The webinar will begin at 1 p.m. Participants will be able to view slides prepared by NRC staff and ask questions in writing via a webpage set up to host the session. Online registration is required to take part.

The NRC will also hold a public meeting in Lacey Township on July 17 to discuss and accept public comments on the Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report for Oyster Creek submitted by Exelon.

Oyster Creek is scheduled to permanently cease operations in September.
