PUBLIC MEETING TO DISCUSS IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES FOR THE KEWAUNEE POWER STATION

Dear Mr. Christian:

This letter refers to the public meeting conducted on June 22, 2006, at the Region III Office in Lisle, Illinois. The meeting was held at your request to discuss the status of improvement initiatives at the Kewaunee power station.

Mr. Mark Satorius, Director - Division of Reactor Projects at NRC Region III, opened the meeting with introductions of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) officials and then turned the meeting over to your staff.

The improvement initiatives at Kewaunee have been incorporated into the Kewaunee Excellence Plan. Your staffs presentation described the focus of the Excellence Plan in five broad areas: Corrective Action, Manager and Supervisor Effectiveness, Safety, Human Performance, and Equipment Reliability. For each area, your strategy and accomplishments or planned actions were discussed, and in the Safety area, the status of corrective actions for two recent operational events that resulted in special inspections by the NRC was provided.

Mr. James Caldwell, Region III Administrator, concluded the meeting with an acknowledgment of the information provided by the Dominion representatives. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a focus on all of the improvement areas, particularly the corrective action area, where a sound, well functioning corrective action program is necessary to ensure the broad-scope success of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process at Kewaunee.
