II. Discussion The Sequoyah SOARCA project considered a select set of potential severe reactor accidents at the Sequoyah power plant. The project combined up-to-date information about the plant's layout and operations with local population data and emergency preparedness plans. This information was then analyzed using state-of-the-art computer codes that incorporate decades of research into severe reactor accidents. The public meeting will be held on April 20, 2016, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Training Center, 2600 Igou Ferry Road, Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee 37379. The SOARCA team will hold an informal poster session, then present the project's approach and findings, answer questions, and take comments on the draft report. The meeting agenda will be published on the NRC's Public Meeting Schedule Web site, http://meetings.nrc.gov/pmns/mtg, 10 days prior to the meeting. Any changes regarding the meeting will be available on the previously stated Web site. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 5th day of April, 2016. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Patricia A.
