There are approximately 52 restart items.

• Corrective Actions: 1.6

• Condition Reports: 7

• Field Work: 13

• Post Maintenance Tests: 4

• Surveillance Tests: 2 NRC ACTIVITIES PRIOR TO RESTART The public exits for both the followup Management and Human Performance Inspection and the followup Restart Readiness Assessment Team Inspection are scheduled for 2:00 pm, February 12, near the site at Camp Perry.

Region IlI Division of Reactor Safety continues with the baseline Emergency Preparedness Inspection onsite this week, February 91hf-13m,focusing on a review of site-specific Emergency Action Levels. A debrief with the licensee Is scheduled for the morning of February 13'.

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 are described in three internal NRC documents: the Davis-Besse Oversight Panel Process Plan, the Davis-Besse Restart Communications Plan and the Davis-Besse Restart Punch List.
