NRC holds public meeting concerning Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant
TANNER, AL (WAFF)- The Nuclear Regulatory Commission held another public meeting Tuesday to discuss their findings during their second inspection at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant.
The inspection was in response to a red issue finding last year. The NRC held two previous public meetings before and after the first inspection at the plant. This meeting was held at the Calhoun Community College Aerospace Center.
The NRC found a red issue due to the failure of a low pressure cooling valve. That valve was quickly repaired. A Nuclear Regulatory Commission red finding has only happened at a few plants in the country. After the first inspection, NRC officials said Browns Ferry needed to improve its corrective action program.
