NRC to stop posting plant security findings on Web site

Washington (Platts)--4Aug2004

NRC will no longer post security findings of the reactor oversight process
because the agency doesn't want to identify plants with poor performance,
senior NRC security officials said today. Existing information on security
findings, however, will remain on NRC's Web site. Members of the public had an
opportunity today to comment at the first open meeting held on security issues
in more than two years. Several participants complained that NRC has limited
their input since the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and that
communications have been one way. Roy Zimmerman, director of NRC's Office of
Nuclear Security & Incident Response, said the agency would do a better job of
 responding to comments on security matters. He acknowledged that there has
been, and will be, a "tightening" of security information, which he said was
necessary to prevent adversaries from misusing security information.
