Re: Candidate questions for the PSEG March 18 meeting Dave, thanks. The list looks to be have been developed with a good bit of thought.
Also, I still owe you an answer about the Synergy survey, i.e., will NRC compel PSEG to docket the report? We're still working on that.
I understand that you have needed, and may continue to need, to make decisions in the interim.
- regards, randy
