April 23, 2009 Alex Marion, Vice President Nuclear Operations Nuclear Energy Institute 1776 I St. N.W., Suite 400 Washington, DC 20006
Dear Mr. Marion:
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 the nuclear industry, on progress made to provide certainty to the licensing process to make comprehensive upgrades in digital I&C through development of a project plan and remaining challenges: diversity and defense in depth, risk-informing digital I&C, and the licensing process. 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 15 minutes, discussing the important points on which you wish to focus the Commissions attention.
Reserved visitor parking for Commission guests is available. If you wish to use reserved parking, please notify Ms. Bavol in advance. If reserved parking has been arranged, please check-in with the security staff at the entrance to the NRC campus on Marinelli Drive when you arrive. A Security Guard will call for an escort.
2 Sincerely,
/RA/
Annette L. Vietti-Cook Secretary of the Commission
