Re: Some info Plant visit that would allow us to look at the shutdown procedures and possibly do a walk-down or two!

Brown's Ferry would be OK too.

I'm not sure that there is an inspection ongoing at Sequoyah. If it's just about a site visit, I can take you guys with me to Brown's Ferry.

I/> Erasmia Lois Wednesday, February 25, 2004 4:24:06 PM>>> PIS The target date is March 29.

During today's meeting Mark recommended that Sequoyah will be a better plant to go than Watts Bar; would it be possible to arrange a couple of days visit to Sequoyah instead? Otherwise will do Watts Bar.

Yes I am working on having Ron Laughery in the panel. Dennis Bley is another person that I hope will be there. I am not quite sure who (Alan, or John, or Dennis) will hold the seession and who will participate as an expert. Gareth may be able to be there but he is not quite sure. It would be good if we could have a couple of inspectors or other real fire-people.

Eva and I discussed getting some of the input that John and Alan requested. As Erasmia pointed out this AM (from a suggestion by Eva), she, John and Alan might participate in a tri-ennial inspection in the very near future to get some first-hand exposure to a licensee's OpManAx. Eva will check with NEI during the monthly conference call to see if they might supply some utility OpManAx procedures (that would make them officially usable by John and Alan for the workshop). She will also check with Ril to see if Charlie Payne might be available as our inspector panelist. If not, or if there is not another Regional inspector available, either Peter or herself could serve the role (or Phil?). Peter - do you concur?

Erasmia - I assume you will be contacting Ron Laughery regarding his joining the panel; Gareth also? Is there anyone in RES with fire and PSA experience who might serve on the panel (I can do this if no one else can be found, although my preference would be to have someone "fresh" if possible)? Eva thought See-Meng Wong could also perform this role, but he may be too busy with his current assignment (off-site) to fit it in.

John/Alan - Will either of you be on the panel in addition to running the elicitation itself?

RE: Some info Ray, The current plan is for Alan to be the main facilitator for the expert elicitation, with me supporting him and taking notes etc. I believe this would allow Alan and I to help get all of the relevant information on the table, but also allow us to help control for various biases among the panel etc. However, we might still change our minds about this. Depends to some extent on who agrees to be on the panel etc.
