York Daily Record/Sunday News staffer Sean Adkins reports that on Thursday, the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, an independent body of experts that advises the NRC nuclear-safety matters, will meet to discuss any outstanding issues related to safety at the plant such as leakage concerning the plant's containment building.
This weekend, the committee will draft a report based on its observations and recommendations on TMI's bid for license renewal.
Next, the NRC's director of the office of nuclear reactor regulation will review the committee's report as well as the commission's safety and environmental evaluations completed earlier this year on TMI. (For the safety evaluation, scroll to "Reading Room." For the environmental report, scroll to "Supplement 37.")
The NRC expects to issue its decision whether to re-license the reactor in November.
