NRC: Wolf Creek Needs Increased Oversight
March 31, 2011
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says three
nuclear power plants, including Wolf Creek in Kansas, need increased oversight from federal regulators because of safety problems or unplanned shutdowns.
However, agency officials say all three facilities are operating
safely, and that the heightened review of the three plants is
routine.
An NRC spokesman identifies the plants as the H.B. Robinson
nuclear plant in South Carolina, the Fort Calhoun facility in
Nebraska and Wolf Creek near Burlington, Kansas.
In all, there are 65 nuclear power plants operating in 31
states.
NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko told a House energy
panel today the NRC has a very strong safety program. The panel was
meeting to review the agency's budget and safety concerns in the
wake of the nuclear crisis in Japan.
