August 15, 2007 Mr. Britt T. McKinney RI-2006-A-0148 Senior Vice-President & Chief Nuclear Officer PPL Susquehanna, LLC 769 Salem Boulevard - NUCSB3 Berwick, PA 18603-0467

Subject:

NRC Office of Investigation (OI) Case No. 1-2007-004

Dear Mr. McKinney:

On October 11, 2006, the Region I Field Office, NRC Office of Investigations (OI), initiated an investigation (Case No. 1-2007-004) to determine whether a maintenance foreman had a refueling worker move the refueling platform without a second qualified operator or a qualified spotter, whether licensee management allowed the refueling platform to be parked in an unauthorized location, and whether licensee management allowed the refueling platform to be parked with items hanging from the hoists, all in violation of station procedures.

Based on testimonial and documentary evidence developed by OI during its investigation, OI did not substantiate that a maintenance foreman or PPL management directed or allowed station procedures to be violated. Additionally, the investigation did not support that there were any violations of station procedures associated with the above-cited concerns.

Please note that final NRC investigation documents, such as the OI report described above, may be made available to the public under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) subject to redaction of information appropriate under the FOIA. Requests under the FOIA should be made in accordance with 10 CFR 9.23, Requests for Records, a copy of which is enclosed for your information.

Should you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Mr. Paul Krohn of my staff at (610) 337-5120.

Sincerely,

/RA/

David C. Lew, Director Division of Reactor Projects
