The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has scheduled a predecisional enforcement conference in Atlanta for Friday, Dec. 11 to discuss with officials of Global Nuclear Fuel -- Americas, LLC of Wilmington, N.C., apparent violations of NRC requirements associated with the company’s safety analysis of the facility.

The meeting will begin at 1 p.m. at the NRC Region II office in Atlanta, located in the Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Center, 61 Forsyth St. SW, Suite 23T85. The meeting will be open to observation by the public, and NRC officials will be available at its conclusion to answer questions from interested observers. Members of the public interested in attending the meeting or participating by toll-free audio teleconference should contact the NRC's Chad Cramer at
404-562-4712 or chad.cramer@nrc.gov or the NRC’s Richard Gibson at 404-562-4718 or richard.gibson@nrc.gov.

The purpose of the meeting is to discuss apparent violations related to shortcomings in the company’s required safety analysis, including the failure to identify or document credible accident scenarios.
