NRC April 23 Open House at River Bend Station to discuss plant's 2008 performance

The open house is informal and scheduled to run between 4 and 6 p.m. at the River Bend Station Training Center Auditorium, 5485 U.S. Hwy. 61N in St. Francisville. The NRC staff will be available to answer questions from the public on the safety performance of River Bend Station, as well as the NRC=s role in ensuring safe plant operation.

The NRC said River Bend operated safely during 2008 and will receive the very detailed inspection regime during 2009 used by the NRC for plants that are operating well. These inspections are performed by two NRC Resident Inspectors assigned to the plant and by inspection specialists from the Region IV Office in Arlington, Texas.
