Re: Fwd: UCS recommendations for Salem / Hope Creek Jim, you are correct......I think this is the way ogc: is reading and it fits with what our common sense would say is prudent (My first take was different based on what I have seen ogc do in the past.... glad to have the room to handle this in less than a bureaucratic way.)

I'm just opining here...but my reading of 2.206 leads me to conclude that a requester must request that a issue be treated as a 2.206....In that way it's unlike an allegation.

We run the risk of enflaming emotions it we ignore the requester's request and handle it in a way he doesn't want.

Having said that, I continue to believe that we need to (internally) treat the request with the rigor provided to 2.206 Petitions...answering each of the assertions made...but our response to UCS can be at a higher level....

I think we need to take a very close look at whether or not this should be treated as a 2.206 petition.

Even though Mr. Lochbaum explicitly states that UICS doesn't view the letter as 2.206 petition, the letter contains the necessary elements of a 2.206. It requests specific action be taken against thie licensee (i.e.

Shutdown Order - or - an Order to demonstrate tangible improvement within 6 months) and it sets forth an argument that constitutes the basis for that request.

We might want to send it through a PRB to get the "expert" eyes on it and, if nothing else, capture our rationale for not treatinga a 2.206 in the PRB's meeting minutes.

this is a surprise; although we were expecting comments from UCS, including recommendation of an order to fix SCWE,, we did not expect the primary recommendation to be for a S/D order.

I don't know if UCS will make a public statement on this. They, for the most part, have not made this is highly public issue.

will update you as we get more.
