Allegation related material:

i accepted a drop-in meeting with the alleger yesterday from 4:15-5:25 pm.

it was a very cordial meeting. key points of discussion:

1. she commented that the feb 27 PSEG response didn't say very much
2. she will not be at the march 18 meeting, but dave lochbaum will. She opined that PSEG will lie to us at the meeting and that will prove they are untrustworthy.
3. she asked if we would compel public release of the Synergy results; i responded that we did not believe we could legally force them to make it public, but that we had not decided whether or how much to press them on it. We talked about the Synergy survey at some length, and i limited my discussion to the parts she has already provided to us.
4. we discussed at length her view that the plant should be shutdown and our view that there are still substantial margins of safety.
5. She said that a union steward ("Mr dunn"] was concered, and had voiced to a member of the USA team on-site this week, that the ongoing USA review was not talking to the right people. She implied (without providing additional basis) that PSEG may have stacked the interview list to promote favorable outcomes.
6. she offered several complaints about roy anderson's style. She complained about Roy anderson's letters to the site; that he did not know the managers at the time they were selected to their positions last year; that the selection process was run too much by the lawyers; and that, when concerns arose that confidential details of the selection process may be leaking, Roy issued an edict that mangers had until a said date to confess if they had leaked anything, or the guilty would be fired.
7. Regarding her plans for the march 28 speech at an unplug salem event, she said she plans: to call for the resignation of five top execs, sparing only Bakken; to call for S/D of the plants, and for any unit that is down to stay down (Sal starts a refueling outage the weekend after her talk); to not criticize the NRC (although she realizes that, if asked, we will not comment about specific managers; and will explain our reasons for allowing the plant to continue ops). she is clearly very nervous about her march 28 speaking engagement, but says she owes it to the folks who are still on-site.

For the items highlighted in bold above, Glen, Dan, Dave and I will confer and decide whether anything should be pursued now or, more likely, just factored into our preps for the March 18 meeting.
