RE. MEETING WITH NEI/MRP RE.

Beth, AS for topics, how about POD (visual inspections for leakers and NDE) and NDE sizing uncertainty?

These are critical for assessing the rality of the PFM and risk computations in the context of reported reactor operating experience I know they will be discussed at the NDE Center during the visist, but I can't go, and the ACRS won't be there either. So, we'll have to discuss it way form the center with teh ACRS at some time. On the Firday call, let's talk at least a little about how they intend to handle those issues Steve

%/>>> Beth Wetzel 05/14/02 12"46PM >>>

Gery/Wally, Here's the status of the upcoming meetings/phone calls, MRP has requested to have a technical/working level phone call with us on 5/17 at 1:00 p.m eastern to discuss the following topics

- probability of leakage

- critical flaw size

- residual stress analysis I told them that if we discuss these topics on the phone, they will still need to be summarized in our all-day meeting on 5/22 for public consumption. I am still waiting to hear from RES if the appropriate people can support such a technical exchange phone call Please let me know ASAP.

Here are the following topics they plan to discuss with us on 5/22"

- overview of RPV head penetration tasks and schedule

- Alloy 600 crack growth rate and summary

- PFM Model (comments from 2/20, resolution of comments, preliminary results)

- collateral damage

- proposed inspection plan

- technical assessment of DB penetrations I am open to suggestions on which topics NRR/RES people should be addressing at the meeting on 5/22. I have not finalized an agenda for this meeting. It depends on what transpires via telephone on 5/17 and what type of inspection proposal they give to us. (The MRP/EPRI plan to give us a heads-up on their proposed inspection plan on 5120.)

Also, we have been invited to the NDE Center on 5/23 to view mock-ups and inspection techniques Anyone that would like to participate in such a trip, let me know.

The proposed management meeting for 5/23 has been cancelled Beth vA> "Gery Wilkowski" <gwilkows@columbus rr.com> 05/13/02 02.22PM >>>

Wally/Beth.

What is the status of the May 21-23 meeting with NEI/MRP on CRDMs? I'd really like to know the agenda to see if we have to present some results.

Thanks, Gery Wilkowski Original Message-From. Beth Wetzel [mailto'BAW@nrc.gov]

MEETING WITH NEI/MRP RE*

V/Jack, I'm not sure that I understand where Alex is coming from. This is contrary to both our action plan and the MRP's strategic plan The resolution of all our technical issues was intended to support our decision for long term inspection requirements.

Now Alex wants to propose a long term inspection program next month?

What's the basis?

As for a project management meeting, I've been working with Christine King and Kurt Cozens on this. We might set up a video conference, which would probably meet our needs.

Beth V/ >>> Jack Strosnider 04/15/02 02.18PM >>>

Beth, et. al; I received a call from Alex Marion this morning.

He said that NEI / MRP would like to set up a management meeting (Brian level) in mid-may to discuss the MRP's proposed long term inspection program for CRDM cracking. I pointed out to him that it seemed to me we should have some technical discussions on the proposed program before having a management meeting. (Actually, it would seem to me that we should reach agreement on the technical issues that go into establishing an inspection program before agreeing on the program. However, it may be possible to establish a conservative program that we could agree to, at least initially, while the technical work continues.) In response, Alex suggested that perhaps there could be a technical meeting in the morning followed by a management meeting in the afternoon. He requested that Beth get ahold of Curt Kozens for further discussions Also, in regard to our discussions last week about having a "project management" meeting to make sure the NRC action plan and MRP schedule of activities are consistent, he said that the MRP was proposing to do this via a conference call I told him that a conference call would be OK if the staff agrees. One complication is that it is more difficult to compare plans via the phone than in person - your call. I did tell him that I would like to see this project management effort completed in April (although I acknowledged this could be a challenge given that it's already April 15).

5/21 and 5/23 are good for me I will be at the OPS center on 5/22 for the Pilgrim emergency exercise which will probably last the better part of the day.

Bulletin 2001-01 Primaries NEI/MRP would like to reschedule our 4/19 meeting for the morning of one of the following dates: 5/21, 5/22 or 5/23. The proposed topics are the following:

- crack growth rate for Alloy 600

- OD crevice environment (implications of Davis Besse)

- PFM - base cases and sensitivity studies

- collateral damage associated with CRDM risk assessments Please let me know your availabilities for one of those 3 mornings. Also, give me your assessment whether one morning is sufficient to address such a list of items. And are there other items that need to be added to the list?

Would it be appropriate to discuss any of these items in smaller working groups (via telecon or in person)? We have a lot to resolve with a very aggressive schedule and I'm attempting to use our resources as efficiently as possible.

Wally, please forward this e-mail to any of the contractors that need to be here and I haven't already included
