Federal officials have scheduled a public meeting to discuss the process involved in a safety exercise that's being conducted at the Cooper Nuclear Station in southeast Nebraska.

AUBURN, Neb. (AP) - The exercise is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday at the Nebraska Public Power District plant near Brownville. The exercise involves state and county agencies and officials from Nebraska and some across the Missouri River in the state of Missouri.

Officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Nuclear Regulatory Commission will be observing the exercise. But their conclusions and reports about what they observe won't be discussed at the public meeting.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Friday at the NPPD emergency operations facility auditorium in Auburn.
