QUESTTONS PROWRED BY M R WA- ON A P U 24 AND MAY 23,2006.

1) Have you tested the mnny fracture cracks in Ule concreft drywell containment shfeld for increPseJ in size and number?

Why didn't rhe Fitzpouick Plant with &e same design i~sfalIa vent pipe?

veht pipe, Is this bccau6e 30 PSI is what

8) light of rhc high vulnerability of an clevvrted Spent fuel pool iillcd with 35 yrs of highly radioactive wasts in tightly packed fuel ussemblies to Tornados, Humicpneo and Terrorist AircrafttArtacks, what provlslons haye been n d e to enclae the this structure in a reinforced conmelt containmentlwilding and I f chis is hot baing done why not?

9 ) Since Themolag 330 flte barrier wag determiaed hot to adquateiy protect essential wiring from fire and Oyster Creek uever complled w-th replacement, bow u e operators expected to be able to "manually operate" critical &ety cemponmts when fire nnd smoke precludes entrance into criticnl arcas.
