Rad area systems for site audit

Bill, For the rad systems during our site audit, we would like to see the following items/systems, to the extent practical:

-- liquid radiological waste management system, including discharge points and monitoring system

-- gaseous radiological waste management system, including discharge points and monitoring system

-- solid radiological waste management system

-- non-radiological, hazardous waste management system

-- off-site radiological environmental monitoring station.

Our main objective is to see the primary components of the waste management systems to provide some ground truth to what is written in the Updated FSAR. We don't need to see every detail of the systems.

However, we'll definitely want to see each of the air and water release points and the rad monitoring systems associated with them. Please let me know if you need additional information.

Thanks.

CAP presenters tips Hi Mike, I asked Rachelle to send you this on Friday -just sending it myself as a back-up in case the other didn't reach you.

Again, if you have any questions, please give me a call.

As I mentioned on the phone, I think the biggest thing is to try to keep the formal presentation brief, and to tailor comments about the relicensing process to Oyster Creek, rather than review the general protocol.

Thanks again and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Tips for Presenters Thank you for agreeing to speak to the Oyster Creek Generating Station's Community Advisory Panel (CAP). To help you prepare and to ensure an effective presentation, please review the tips below. They will give you an idea of what to expect and how best to tailor your remarks for your audience.

What is the CAP?

The CAP consists of about 19 community members representing a variety of interests, perspectives, and constituencies within Lacey Township and the surrounding area. It includes business owners, community activists, parents, medical professionals, educators, and more. The group was formed to foster more direct and open communication between Exelon and the Oyster Creek community. It allows the company to hear the voices of the community while answering their questions and addressing their concerns.

Tips for Presenters

  • Keep the formal part of the presentation brief. Generally speaking, 5-10 minutes is best. This will be followed by Q&A, which typically comprises the bulk of the presenter's time in front of the group.
  • During Q&A, keep answers brief and to the point.
  • Remember that the CAP consists of community members and their perspective is that of concerned, informed citizens. You might approach your topic by asking yourself:

"What are the interests of the community here?"

"What would community members want/need to know about this?"

"What perceptions/misconceptions currently exist in the community about this topic?"

  • Feel free to use handouts, but avoid leading the group through a lengthy, page-turning review of printed materials. Lively and direct conversation is the best conduit for information in this forunm.
  • Avoid jargon and acronyms. Remember, this is NOT an industry audience. They are familiar with the basics of nuclear power and the overall workings of Exelon and the plant. But they don't know technical details and in most cases, don't need to know them.

  • Provide any necessary background, but avoid long and detailed descriptions of scientific or bureaucratic processes. These can bog down your talk and/or alienate the audience. Again, this is a "civilian" audience that wants a higher level, cut-to-the-chase view of the issues that affect them.
  • Where possible, tailor responses to this particular community and group. For instance, instead of citing generic procedures, talk specifically about their application at Oyster Creek, or for this specific area.
  • Any presentation materials you need (slide projector, computer display, easel & flip charts, etc.) can be provided upon request. Contact Rachelle Benson at 609-971-2185.
  • Be open and sincere. Exelon has committed to sharing information with the CAP in a very direct and forthcoming manner. Try to avoid "no comment" responses.

Presenters are encouraged to share real information and substantive answers with the group.

  • Relax. While CAP meetings address serious issues, the overall atmosphere is informal and friendly. Be prepared to answer tough questions, but know that they will be asked in a climate that is always respectful, welcoming, and appreciative.

For more information, or if you have any questions, contact Mickey Bradley, the CAP meeting facilitator, at 518.370.2550 or mickcvywashingtonwestem.com.
