The memo indicates how inspection time should be charged. All inspection plans will be briefed before the panel.

Elements of the PI&R will be incorporated into the restart checklist inspections. The bulk of the rest of the baseline will be conducted.
J. Grobe and J. Jacobson discussed the AIT follow-up inspection being conducted by J.
Gavula. The goal is to develop any findings and issue the report in the end of June.
