I told Dave that we do not necessarily see SCWE sliding at the moment as he had contended during the meeting.
At 4 pm today, I spoke briefly with Dave Lochbaum. He had said, in his remarks to us at the end of the 3/18 meeting, that things are continually getting worse at Salem/Hope Creek. I told him that we had been watching for that, that we asked the residents this question frequently, and that, further, we were looking for signs of that during our site visit last thursday as we talked to site staff. I said, bottom-line, that our current asessment is that SCWE is either stable or getting very slightly better, but not obviously getting steadily worse as he maintained. He acknowledged my statement, and then clarified that he had not meant to say that SCWE is getting worse, but instead his point is that, with a faulty CAP, mishandled items must be piling up. Also, he remarked that Roy Anderson's letter of feb 13, Discipline and Punishment has likely done some damage, scaring a lot workers who feel that they may be victimized when work doesn't happen on time, even though the delays may be beyond their control (e.g., work control or parts problems).
He also mentioned that PSEG's Bakken has asked to meet with him and he agreed. ( i had also heard that from Bakken).

- Dave, I called Frank Cassidy Friday and took a call from Roy Anderson yesterday.
Both know we intend to have a few people on-site to talk to key people doing interviews for PSEG....following up to understand exactly how the interviews are being done, how they select who they interview, confidentiality, the things we talked about in our post meeting caucus, etc. etc. We need to do this right away so they don't go down a long path and find out they missed it by a mile.
Their schedule for completing the review makes this an urgent matter.
Also, Glenn, Randy, et al will be leading us in examining what next steps should be in overview of the program. This will undoubtedly need to key off what we find in our scouting mission over the next several days. As I said at the public meeting, we need to decide what our formal oversight will be..... there is a broad range of options as I said in the meeting. (We know some would have us do this under or with an order.)
This also should be settled soon given that the licensee study is proceeding at full tilt.
Gina, pis schedule a briefing later this week.
