PUBLIC MEETING TO DISCUSS CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES, NUCLEAR SAFETY CULTURE ASSESSMENT, AND CONFIRMATORY ORDER EA-06-178 AT THE POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT

Dear Mr. Meyer:

This letter confirms the plans, as discussed between you and Cynthia Pederson on Friday, August 22, 2008, to hold a public meeting on your actions to address substantive cross-cutting issues at the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. This meeting is a follow-up to the 2007 end-of-cycle public meeting held on July 16, 2008. The discussion at that earlier meeting did not provide sufficient detail for us to understand the full scope of your actions.

In addition, you and Ms. Pederson agreed that you would provide information on the preliminary results of the 2008 culture survey assessment and on the status of actions taken in response to Confirmatory Order EA-06-0178, issued on January 3, 2007.

The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 24, 2008, at 9:30 a.m. (CDT), at the Region III office, 2443 Warrenville Road, Suite 210, Lisle, Illinois. The meeting is open to the public. The public is invited to observe this meeting and will have an opportunity to communicate with the NRC after the business portion, but before the meeting is adjourned.

If you have any questions regarding this meeting, please contact me at (630) 829-9618.

Sincerely,

/RA/
