Ellls, Jim, forwarded a copy of Ellis' s simplified SDP analysis for the Davis Besse performance deficiencies related to the Reactor Vessel Head Degradation. I must confess that I am not a fan of simpllfed PRA analysis. Rs just toa easy to miss something important and too hard to defend when challenged. I have done simplified PRAs in the past (single sequence, point estimate vs full distributions, no parameter or model uncertainty analysis...) and have usually regretted it later.

I Since we are near.the final stage of the SDP analysis, I suggest that our draft analysis be reviewed by Reg IV in addition to the currently planned NRR, RES and Reg 111 reviews. In that way we can, hopefully, develop an agency consensus around a single, final versfon that Jack Grobe can use, with confidence, as part of the 0350 process. I expect the draft SOP ma@& to be available for revfew by next week
