April 2, 2007 THIS LETTER WAS ISSUED TO THOSE ON THE ATTACHED LIST.
SUBJECT:
NOTIFICATION OF UPCOMING MEETING
Dear Mr.:
Each year, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducts an integrated assessment of nuclear power plant performance. This assessment is based upon the risk significance of the inspection findings by the NRCs resident and region-based inspectors and the insights gained from the licensee-provided performance indicators. The results are then communicated with the public through a public meeting held in the vicinity of each nuclear power plant. Nationally, plants with significant performance shortcomings are reviewed by the NRCs senior management and discussed with the Commission in a public meeting in Rockville, Maryland.
We have completed the annual assessment associated with the 2006 inspections and performance indicators for Columbia Generating Station. The results can be found on the NRC website at http://nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/index.html. We have also scheduled a public meeting to discuss the results. The meeting for Columbia Generating Station is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 1, 2007, at the Energy Northwest Office Complex in the Walkley Room, located at 3000 George Washington Way, Richland, Washington. The meeting notice may be viewed at http://www.nrc.gov/public-involve/public-meetings/index.cfm.
In conjunction with this meeting, we are offering all local decision-makers an opportunity to meet separately with an NRC Region IV manager and myself, The NRC Senior Resident Inspector at Columbia Generating Station, immediately following the public meeting. This opportunity is intended to provide you a forum to ask any questions that you may have and to let you meet personally the NRC personnel with whom you would interface with in the event of an emergency at the Columbia Generating Station..
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be made available electronically for public inspection in the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (The Public Electronic Reading Room).
I fully anticipate that you will find this opportunity responsive to your needs and I look forward to personally meeting you. Should you have any questions concerning this meeting, please contact me at 509/377/2627.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Zachary K. Dunham Senior Resident Inspector Columbia Generating Station
