Fwd: Wednesday night off As noted in Dave Lochbaum's email, he believes that a meeting on Wednesday night is unworkable, as he has not heard from the workers in response to his calls. Apparently, Thursday is still a possibility.

Wednesday night off Hello Randy:
I just got off the phone with Glenn. We've been unable to confirm with the workers that they can make Wednesday evening. Consequently, I told Glenn not to plan on Wednesday.
I appreciate your patience and flexibility in this matter. I hope to get it straightened out, or put away, soon.
- Thanks, Dave Lochbaum UCS

dave, i hear from Glenn that it may be tomorrow nite.
attendees would be Scott Barber, Dave Vito and me.
We are keeping the NRC attendance list down, based, in part, on input from Dr. H.
I assume you will let Glenn know once arrangement is solidified.

Hello Randy:
Just following up on our telephone call from last Wednesday. There are approximately five workers, plus or minus a couple, at Salem and Hope Creek that would like to sit down with you as soon as your schedule permits it (i.e., your next trip to the area) to discuss their safety concerns. These workers are a combination of management and union. To protect their identities, they are proposing to meet at a Friends Meeting Place in Woodstown, NJ, north of the site.
I briefly sketched out the value of such a meeting in our call last week. These workers have lost faith in the company's promises to reform.
Their lack of patience has them ready and willing to go to the media.
Their meeting with you would not replace existing NRC processes for handling/evaluating safety concerns (i.e., the allegation and 01 processes). Instead, it would supplement those processes. My expectation for the meeting would be that the workers would leave with the belief, as I believe, that the NRC is taking the problems very seriously and will get them fixed in time and that you would leave with a more complete understanding of the situation at the site.
I realize such a meeting is not business as usual for the NRC. I would neither advocate it nor seek it unless I felt it stood a very good chance of benefitting all participants.
Please contact me when you, or a member of your staff, can to schedule this meeting.
- Thanks, Dave Lochbaum Nuclear Safety Engineer
