The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has scheduled a public meeting next month on safety issues at southwestern Michigan's troubled Palisades power plant. The agency says the meeting is December 11 at the Beach Haven Center in South Haven. NRC spokeswoman Viktoria Mitlyng says things are getting better at Palisades.
The meeting will deal with the results of significant safety inspection findings at the plant. Mitlyng says while things are getting better, there's a long way to go.
The plant has had repeated safety issues and shutdowns. The NRC said in February that it will continue extra inspections of the power plant. Regulators say their 11-day inspection in September has "adequately addressed" problems identified last year but say additional oversight is needed to ensure that the remaining corrective actions are properly implemented.
