Dear Mr. Garrett:

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is pleased that you will participate in a public Commission meeting on the use of digital instrumentation and control (I&C) in the nuclear power industry scheduled on Thursday, June 4, 2009, at 9:30 a.m. The meeting will be held in the Commissioners Conference Room on the first floor of the NRCs Headquarters building at One White Flint North, Rockville, Maryland. The Commission is interested in hearing your views, as a representative of Wolf Creek, on general operating plant issues related to digital I&C and your experience with the Wolf Creek application. I am enclosing a copy of the draft meeting agenda for your information (enclosure 1). My staff will keep you informed of any updates to the agenda.

To assist the Commission in preparing for the meeting, please e-mail any written material, including viewgraphs/slides, to Ms. Rochelle Bavol and Ms. Sandy Joosten (rochelle.bavol@nrc.gov and sandy.joosten@nrc.gov) in the Office of the Secretary, by May 28, 2009, so that it can be distributed to the Commission for review in advance of the meeting.

Enclosed are guidelines for viewgraphs, if you choose to use them (enclosure 2). PowerPoint or other electronic presentation formats are acceptable. This Commission meeting will be webcast live at the Web address: www.nrc.gov. If you intend to use viewgraphs they will also be posted on the NRC website prior to the meeting. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Bavol at 301-415-1651.

Your presentation at the Commission meeting should be based on the assumption that Commissioners are familiar with the content of your written material. Please plan your oral presentation for 5 minutes, discussing the important points on which you wish to focus the Commissions attention.
