Re: Fwd: Salem/Hope Creek

Leigh, Region 1 has set up the call for 2PM on Wednesday. Steve Lewis, Lisa Jarriel and I will be listening in.

The region intends to go forward with a minor violation of TS required management directive regarding command and control for this issue.

Will you be here Wednesday or be able to listen in?

I currently have no idea where the ARB call will take place or who is taking the lead for setting it up. I've only attended two ARBs, and I don't recall setting them up. Other than your e-mail to me, the only reason I know anything at all about the possibility of a Salem/Hope Creek meeting is because Steve Lewis was looking for a Hope Creek 01 report and mentioned to me that a meeting was being planned. (In fact, Steve and I initially overlooked the 01 report because it only references Salem.) Anyway, your e-mail is the first I've heard of an actual schedule or type of meeting.

You're correct. Region Il's normal panel time is Wednesday afternoon from 1:00 to 3:00, and as far as I know, they're currently planning to conduct at least one panel. It would be wise to use a different location just in case the Region II panel takes longer than 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />.

I'm confused as to why we're having an ARB on this case. I just read the 01 report (1-2004-00 and it seemed fairly straight forward to me. According to the 01 report, 01 found that an hwanot, member of the on-shift o eratins crew in the contro om,

-.*e However, 01 did not substantiate that

'i the willfully violated the TS-required plant procedure or NRC regulations/requirements when he/she closed the valve. It was anis ue of poor communications but did not constitute deliberate misconduct or willfulness on the part of tlMM!

Do you have information above and beyond the 01 report? The event happened at Salem Unit 2, so where does Hope Creek fit in? I also don't see any references to discrimination. I'm obviously missing something. Are we taking about the same case? Are we certain that this is an ARB versus an enforcement paneVcaucus/SERP, etc? What is the purpose of this meeting? Don't ARBs usually occur before the investigation rather than after? If this is an ARB, have the HQs allegations folks been informed? I've been assigned to follow the enforcement aspect of this 01 report, but it sounds like we aren't there yet if we're still in allegations space. Is this meeting to determine if immediate enforcement action is necessary? Who's got the allegations lead?

Lets chat on Monday please.

Leigh, The ARB concerning 10 cas&ý;cheduled for 2PM on Wednesday (3/9/05). I assume you are already aware of this. I will also be listening in since I have the discrimination piece for this individual. I told Steve Lewis of OGC to be there since he reviewed the case also.

Will the call be in the OE conference room? Normally Region II has the conference room at that time.
