Re: Alleger's last minute meeting invitation good we should use every opportunity to tell the alleger how we do things to have her know how sophisticated/skilled we are at eliciting concerns people might have....
we are riot at the mercy of the licensee

I spoke with the Salem \\ HC alleger last night and she invited the NRC to a 7 am meeting at Hope Creek this morning with maintenance workers. I politely declined.
Last night the HQ DO called Scott Barber and relayed a message from the alleger to call her regarding a meeting this morning. The alleger had initially left messages for Eileen Neff. Scott called me, and after talking with Randy, I called the alleger.
She relayed that the maintenance workers, who had previously wanted a meeting with Randy, were having a meeting with Hope Creek management on Wednesday and wanted the NRC (residents or regional) to attend. The NRC could either listen in from behind a wall or arrive after the meeting began. There had been a prior meeting on Monday which had unsuccessfully addressed the same topics, i.e., production pressures, absence of job prebriefs, unsafe approaches, etc.
I replied that listening in from behind a wall was unappropriate and that interrupting a meeting unannounced would be disruptive. While interested in the issues, I stated that the best approach would be to have the meeting and raise the issues to NRC if the workers are still frustrated and/or concerned.
She agreed and said she had talked with the workers and was going based on a message; the call was fairly brief and cordial.
Minutes later she returned my call (using caller lID?). She had spoken with the workers, and was much more insistent that NRC representation was necessary and important. She believed that our participation would enable us to hear the issues without exposing the concerned parties. I explained that there are means to provide the information anonymously, if necessary. The call covered the different aspects of our attending and was more contentious. In the end I said we did not plan to attend.
