Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will meet with representatives of AmerGen Energy Company, LLC, on Thursday, April 11, to discuss the results of the agency's annual assessment of safety performance at the Oyster Creek nuclear power plant. The facility is located in Lacey Township, N.J., and operated by AmerGen.

The meeting, which will be open to the public for observation, is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. at the Lacey Township Municipal Building, 818 W. Lacey Road in the township's Forked River section. Before the session is adjourned, NRC staff will be available to answer questions from the public on the safety performance of the Oyster Creek plant, as well as the role of the NRC in ensuring safe plant operation.

The performance period to be discussed is April 1, 2001, to December 31, 2001. In addition, NRC staff will provide an overview of the agency's Reactor Oversight Process.
