The IMC0350 panel was at the site for the scheduled public meeting. The panel discussed the licensees morning meeting during which the licensee summarized the results of the Restart Oversight Panel (ROP) Meeting held at the site the previous day.

Buzz Cairns is the chairman of the licensees ROP.

NRR had a phone call with the licensee to discuss extracting Nozzles 2 and 46 from the old vessel head. The licensee proposed removing the old vessel head from containment but keeping the head onsite for removal of the nozzles. J. Hopkins will be discussing this option with NRR management.

Currently, the containment liner cutting is scheduled for August 24.

The Action Items list was reviewed and updated. During the meeting, four new action items were generated.

ACTION: Send letter/action plan to the licensee regarding actions required to be completed to close the CAL item related to quarantine ACTION: Follow up with State of Ohio Inspector ACTION: Determine if State of Ohio participation with 0350 panel has been discussed ACTION: Develop draft proposal on how to assess significance/respond to TIA

Licensing Issues/ Actions (DLPM) - status sheet T. Mendiola briefed the panel on green ticket items, yellow ticket items, and 2.206 issues. The green ticket item to forward the hot particle inspection report to Congress has been extended to 9/20.

2. IMC 0350 Panel Business Inspection Schedule The head replacement inspection and part 2 of the Containment Health inspection are in progress. M.

The panel discussed how to complete the inspection since many of the identified issues are not yet corrected. The panel agreed to put this subject on the agenda for discussion in 2 weeks.

The Management and Human Performance Excellence Plan inspection is still in planning and is estimated to be a 2 to 3 week inspection involving 2 to 3 inspectors. G.

Wright is the lead inspector. The panel discussed using a contractor to help evaluate the licensees root cause analysis or using an IIT-trained individual from headquarters.

The System Health inspection was discussed. Marty Farber is the lead inspector. This inspection will be the most labor intensive and will include an SSDI. The inspection plan is under development.

Other inspections for restart readiness will include unique testing (containment ILRT and rod drop) and operational readiness. These inspections have not yet been planned.
