1. Discuss/Approve Todays Agenda The Panel approved the agenda, but modified the order of presentations. THE APPROVED AGENDA REFLECTS THE ORDER LISTED IN THESE MINUTES.

2. Panel Review Restart Checklist Items 4.b, Effectiveness of Corrective Actions in the Organizational Effectiveness and Human Performance Area to Define Remaining Closure Criteria Considering Findings from Followup Management & Human Performance Team Inspection The Panel discussed Restart Checklist Items 4.b, Effectiveness of Corrective Actions in the Organizational Effectiveness and Human Performance Area to Define Remaining Closure Criteria Considering Findings from Followup Management & Human Performance Team Inspection. G. Wright summarized a portion of his inspection regarding safety culture and safety conscious work environment. Geoff's team determined that an improvement in safety culture and safety conscious work environment has occurred on a site-wide basis; however, a recent survey taken in November of 2003 called into question the effectiveness of some of the Corrective Actions that were required by 10 CFR Appendix B Criterion XVI. Geoff's team plans additional inspection next week to understand the cause of decline in certain questions related to safety culture and safety conscious work environment as a result of site-wide surveys taken in March and November 2003. The Panel determined that there is no definitive criteria for closure of Restart Checklist Item 4.b. Rather, the closure will be based on evaluation by the Panel of the integrated results of various performance-based inspections and inspections conducted by the Management & Human Performance Team.
