The workshop will be held at the NRC Headquarters, in the Auditorium of Two White Flint North Building, 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland. NRC staff strongly encourages interested stakeholders to attend and participate in this workshop, as it will offer a unique opportunity to provide the staff with insights, perspectives, and information that stakeholders feel is important for the NRC staff to consider as it finalizes the Technical Basis Document.
