re: VY eng. inspection attached I don't think we're allowed to release the names yet. That's what the press release is for.
None of the contractors, and three of the 5 NRC staff have never been to VY. Steve Dennis performed some licensed operator exam activities / inspections, but those were before 2001. Jacobson has never inspected at VY, but he did visit it in 2000 to observe a RI led PI&R team (a inspection procedure he had responsibility over as part of the ROP)

Can you send me the bio information on the VY eng. Inspection team members? The Rutland Herald reporter would like to learn the names of the contractors.
Also, I told her the team members have not had any "recent" involvement with VY. She countered with, "Does that mean that haven't had ANY involvement with VY"? How should I respond to that?
