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. Discuss New/Potential Licensing Issues J. Hopkins led a discussion on the licensees new Boron Precipitation Control (BPC) method and that while licensee desired to list new method as first choice in their procedures, the NRR Project Manager (J. Hopkins) informed licensee that until the needed exemption for that method is granted, the licensee should list the two existing BPC methods first in their procedures. The Panel also discussed the licensees identification of additional electrical breakers that they intend to modify, prior to restart, due to Appendix R considerations.

3. Discuss Regulatory Footprint Development Status D. Passehl led a discussion on development of the Regulatory Footprint. The Panel discussed the timeline for developing the footprint. The current plan is for the Regional Administrator to transmit the Confirmatory Order to the licensee. The Region will draft the transmittal letter. At a high level, the Panel discussed the content of the Confirmatory Order. The Panel suggested the Order contain separate sections to address licensee improvement initiatives, independent assessments, and certain inspection requirements for the mid-cycle outage. There were three followup items resulting from this discussion:

1) The Panel would ask the licensee what their plans are for a mid-cycle outage,

2) J. Hopkins would obtain information clarifying when the licensee intends to submit its steam generator tube inspection surveillance extension license amendment, and

3) J. Grobe would discuss with Regional Administrator his thoughts on restart considering licensees planned submittal of steam generator tube inspection extension license amendment.

4. Discuss ASP Slides for Use at Prebrief this Week Prior to Kucinich Brief C. Lipa led a review of the ASP presentation slides. J. Grobe will discuss the slides with appropriate personnel. The Panel discussed the phone call last Friday with the EDO on the ASP results.

6. Discuss Observations/Impressions from Licensees November 10 ROP Meeting C. Lipa briefed the Panel on observations/impressions from licensees Restart Overview Panel meeting on November 10. The following major topics were discussed:

1) Safety-related motors would be classified as red by licensee for restart and we should consider that in our backlog inspection,

2) A number of systems are now classified as red by licensee with most to be non-red by restart,

3) NRC needs to understand better the operator requalification due to recent events,

4) Lew Myers said that only 1 or 2 operability evaluations would be in existence for restart, whereas, NRC thinks that there will be five or six,

5) The licensees work schedule does not include several work items such as CAC piping and additional breakers,
