cc: Leonard Cline; James M. Trapp; Ed Stronzi; Dozg DempGy; David Lochbaum subject: A Problem in Understanding Good morning Jan, Although it seems like a long time ago now, maybe you remember my concern with the word definitions the FirstEnergy/Davis-Besse people used.
they had inspected the reactor head.
(In the nuclcar environment, this means, to me, that they had inspected ALL of the Davis-Besae reactor head, since they did not specify any exceptions. However, we came to find out that this meant just as much as they cared to So, perhaps, it is disappointing, but not surprising that today I come to another problem in understanding, this time at FirstEnergy/Perry.
If you look just below the d d d l e of slide 6 of 49 from the FENOC Senior Hanagement Briefing given on November 16, 2004, you will read that one Strategic Objective of their Business Plan is "Excellent Materiel Condition."
(Additionally, the previous slide proclaims a Vision of "People with a strong safety focus.."I For example, they told the NRC that nspect, which was not all of it.)
--If you look at page8 24-to 26 of the latest Perry lnspection Report, you will discover, (as I read it), that they intentionally started up the Perry reactor on January 30, 2005 with 2 of 0 IRM channels bypassed, (and then found out that another channel did not work either. 1 T o me, this is clear evidence of a continuing strong focus on plant production before plant nuclear safety.
I N S at power, are they?)
(They are not going to tell you that they were going to fix the two and perhaps more disturbing, is the slow realization I am coming to that, at has changed from performance-based regulation to promise-based regulation.
