Ronda, Please ask the NRC to provide to GE Dr. Ziada's full name (as it appears on his Canadian passport) and his Canadian passport number so we can get DOE concurrence before his visit to Vallecitos on August

15. DOE is usually pretty helpful, but turnaround time is sometimes several days.

Len, Canadian is likely fine but we have been instructed by DOE/DOC lately to get approval for all non-U.S.

citizens, even from "friendly" ones [countries]. It can take a little time.

RE: Steam Dryer Audits at GE San Jose and DC offices Louis:

He is a Canadian. We have already told NRC this could be problematic.

We are having a telecon with NRC (and possibly Zaida) at 11:30 AM tomorrow. You are welcome to join us. We have already invited GE's Dan Pappone, Dan Sommerville, and Al Jenkins. The purpose of the call is to discuss NRC's objectives and expectations regarding a steam dryer audit, including a visit by Zaida to Vallecitos.

Len, Can you or Ronda ask the NRC for information on Dr. Ziada, i.e., of which country is he a citizen and any other information which could help us determine if we'll need DOE or DOC approval prior to divulging non-public information?

Steam Dryer Audits at GE San Jose and DC offices

Ronda, I just talked to Tom Scarbrough and got some clarification on the details of the steam dryer audits EMEB would like to perform. The info is as follows:

1) Audit at GE's San Jose office: The purpose would be to see the VY steam dryer model including a test run. The staff would like to look at data from either that test run or previous test runs. Tom said Dan Summerville of GE set up something similar for us in August 2004 for Quad Cities. This would be a one day audit and the attendees would likely be John Wu and our contractor Dr. Samir Ziada.

The timeframe on this is flexible. We understand that you are looking into the current status of the model (i.e., possibility that it is disassembled in preparation for moving to a new location) and that there may be concerns since Dr. Ziada is not a US citizen.

2) Audit at GE's DC office: The purpose would be to look at the background information/data which was used as a basis in preparing the RAI responses that are scheduled to be submitted by 8/1/05. This audit will likely involve several NRC headquarters staff members and all our contractors. We would like to perform the audit the week of 8/15. The audit would likely take 3 to 4 days.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

thanks, Rick
