SUBJECT:

SUMMARY

OF THE APRIL 5, 2003, MEETING WITH DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER TO DISCUSS DUANE ARNOLD PERFORMANCE

Dear Mr. Peifer:

On April 5, 2004, a public meeting was held at the Palo Community Center, Palo, Iowa, between the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Duane Arnold Energy Center staff.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss NRCs assessment of Duane Arnolds performance for the period of January 1, 2003, through December 31, 2003.

During the NRC presentation, an overall assessment of the Duane Arnold Energy Centers performance was provided. As explained in the Annual Assessment letter from NRC to you dated March 4, 2004, (ADAMS accession number ML040641181), Duane Arnold operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety, and fully met all cornerstone objectives.

Following our presentation, you stated that the ROP provided a meaningful performance assessment in risk-significant areas and a critical review of processes that Nuclear Management Company could use for continuous improvement.

Before adjourning the meeting, the NRC provided the opportunity for members of the public to ask questions. A representative of the State of Iowa provided comments on the ROP regarding the significance of the green inspection findings and performance indicators.

The meeting attendance list is enclosed. The slides presented by the NRC are available in ADAMS (accession number ML041050442). Please contact me at (630) 829-9629, if there are any questions you have about this meeting.
