February 12, 2007 EA 07-017 Mr. Gary Van Middlesworth Vice-President Duane Arnold Energy Center 3277 DAEC Road Palo, IA 52324-9785
SUBJECT:
PUBLIC MEETING TO DISCUSS AN APPARENT VIOLATION AND PRELIMINARY WHITE FINDING CONCERNING A FAILURE TO IDENTIFY A WEAKNESS DURING AN EVALUATED EXERCISE CRITIQUE PRESENTATION AT THE DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER
Dear Mr. Van Middlesworth:
This letter confirms the discussion between Mr. Bob Morrell of the Duane Arnold Energy Center and myself, to have a meeting at 1:00 p.m. (CDT) on Thursday, March 1, 2007, at the NRC Region III Office, 2443 Warrenville Road, Suite 210, Lisle, IL 60532-4351.
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss an apparent violation and preliminary White finding concerning a critique that failed to identify a weakness associated with a risk significant planning standard, during a full-scale evaluated emergency preparedness exercise. This issue potentially has greater than very low safety significance as documented in Inspection Report 05000331/2006009.
The public is invited to observe this meeting and will have an opportunity to speak with the NRC after the business portion of the meeting, but before the meeting is adjourned. If you have any questions regarding this meeting, please contact me at (630) 829-9757.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Kenneth Riemer, Chief Plant Support Branch Division of Reactor Safety Docket No. 50-331 License Nos. DPR-49 See Attached Distribution
