Response to questions from Undine Shoop

>>> Undine Shoop 12/01/05 2:14 PM >>>

Please provide answers to three questions that were raised in the morning meeting with Bill Kane:

1. SIT or not?

I The requirements of MD 8.3 are not met and therefore no Special Inspection is scheduled at this time.

2. Stakeholder reaction?

Region III has not received a lot of feed back yet. We expect to receive more feedback tomorrow. A wide array of interests is expected. We will provide additional information as it becomes available.

3. Is the tritium offsite? bounded?

Yes, at this time there is at least one measurement from offsite that indicates that tritium has gone beyond the owner controlled area. As to the "bounded" question, we do not have enough information at this time. We will have more information from the field available in the morning. We will provide

' additional information as it becomes available.

These questions should also be considered when you are pulling together the comm plan.

Thank you Undine Senior Technical CommtjVcations Assistant - Reactors
