The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold a meeting this week on the operations of the Cook plant in Bridgman. The NRC’s Viktoria Mitlyng tells WSJM News these meetings are held each year at all nuclear power plants.

“We usually come out to the area that’s near the plant to make sure that we can interact with the community and have our resident inspectors there so people can see the folks who are protecting nuclear safety,” Mitlyng said.

The NRC will give a presentation on Cook plant operations in 2020 and part of 2021, and then there will be a Q&A period. Mitlyng says the Cook plant operated safely last year.

“The plant does not require any additional NRC oversight.”

Mitlyng says this meeting will be virtual. It will be Thursday starting at 6 p.m. You can sign up for the meeting here.  The public call in number is 1-888-790-3109, passcode 7767691#.
