Subject:
Re: VP Response to Salem/HC Letter Randy; We tried to explain to Fred that the basis for the letter was fully stated in the letter. However, without our detailed knowledge of the content of allegations or prior management messages, we could only generally surmise that it was the content of the allegations, the specific factors related to plant events, and the results of special inspections, that was more important than just the number of allegations. We did have a dialogue on the subject, but Fred seemed to believe there was more to the story than what was said in the letter. He had already spent some time conferring with a few of his industry counterparts, and he requested that we pass on his desire to talk with Hub.

was it the sort of thing where you could explain our logic using the info we had provided, or was fred simply making a statement w/out providing for much dialogue as he sometimes does?
I will try to call fred next week.

Randy; Pete Habighorst and I had our bi-weekly discussion with Fred Dacimo this afternoon and we asked him for his reaction to the Salem/HC letter. In a word, he stated that it was "frightening." He couldn't understand from the reasons stated in the letter what really caused the NRC to write it to PSE&G. He said he understood that the internal organizational issues, labor relations, communications, etc, at Salem/HC are not good, but that on the other hand, the number of allegations there are a lot less than, for example, Indian Point. He didn't think the visible indicators on SCWE at Salem/HC explain why the letter was sent to PSE&G, or that they could have predicted this kind of response from the NRC. He said he wants to talk with Hub about this and will initiate a phone call in the near future.
He also told us that Entergy (i.e., Synergy, Inc) will conduct a SCWE survey this coming August, and that organizational improvements are planned at Indian Point in an effort to make them more responsive to employee concerns.
