Fo as itlosure Daily Staff Notes February 19. 2004 Special Davis-Besse Update New Information No new Information for today.

Plant status Mode 3 (hot standby) at Normal Operating Pressure/Normal Operating Temperature (2155 psig/5320F). The licensee expects to maintain the plant In these conditions until restart.

Recent and on-oing events The licensee continues to work through the 24 remaining restart restraints Items.

NRC activities The 0350 Panel activities remain focused on restart deliberations.

The final SERP was conducted on February 19 for the High Pressure Injection pump Greater than Green issue, with a final significance determination of White. Region IlIl plans to issue the final significance letter and Notice of Violation in the next 2 weeks.

Upcoming meetings No public meetings are scheduled In the next two weeks.

Below Is a simplified time line that describes the significant NRC and licensee activities and milestones that are necessary for NRC to authorize restart.

These tentative dates are predicated upon the licensee successfully completing NRC pre-restart activities and demonstrating acceptable operating performance. Key Agency decision points are annotated with asterisks ("*) In the timeline below. The outcome of each decision point could materially alter the timing and substance of the rest of the schedule.

The details of these activities aredescribed in three internal NRC documents: the Davis-Besse Oversight Panel Process Plan, the Davis-Besse Restart Communications Plan and the Davis-Besse Restart Punch Ust.
