NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-003]


Consolidated Edison Company; Indian Point Nuclear Generating 
Station, Unit 1; Notice of Public Meeting

    The NRC will conduct a public meeting at the New York State Armory, 
955 Washington Street, Peekskill, New York 10566-5815, on January 20, 
1999, to discuss plans developed by Consolidated Edison Company (Con 
Edison) to decommission the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Station 
Unit 1. The Indian Point Station, located in Buchanan, New York, 
includes the permanently shutdown Unit 1 and two operating units. Unit 
2 is operated by Consolidated Edison Company, and Unit 3 by New York 
Power Authority. The meeting is scheduled for 7:00--9:30 p.m., and will 
be chaired by Mr. Francis X. Cameron, Deputy Assistant General Counsel 
and Special Counsel for Public Liaison, NRC. The public meeting is 
being held pursuant to the NRC's regulations in Title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations, Section 50.82(a)(4) regarding the requirements of 
a public meeting on the licensees plans for decommissioning the 
facility as described in the post-shutdown decommissioning activities 
report (PSDAR). Con Edison submitted a decommissioning plan, which was 
approved by the NRC in January 1996, prior to the rule change 
promulgated at 61 FR 39301 (July 29, 1996), requiring a PSDAR. 
Decommissioning plans approved prior to the revision are considered to 
meet the requirement for a PSDAR and are subject to the revised 
regulations, including the requirement for a public meeting. The 
meeting will include a presentation by the NRC staff on the 
decommissioning process and NRC programs for regulatory oversight of 
decommissioning activities. There will also be a presentation by 
Consolidated Edison Company on planned decommissioning activities. 
There will be an opportunity for members of the public to ask questions 
of NRC staff and Con Edison representatives and make comments related 
to decommissioning of Indian Point Unit 1. The meeting will be 
transcribed.
    Con Edison's decommissioning plan provides a short discussion of 
the plant history, a description of the unit's radiological conditions, 
and a description and schedule of planned decommissioning activities. 
This decommissioning plan and the NRC's safety evaluation associated 
with the plan is available for public inspection at the White Plains 
Public Library, 100 Martine Avenue, White Plains, NY 10601. For more
