The meeting's purpose was for Carolina Power and Light Company (CP&L)(doing business as Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc.) to discuss a preliminary white finding involving the failure to correctly translate the design basis into an engineering change to replace control relays on all four emergency diesel generators at the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant. Enclosed are a list of attendees and CP&Ls presentation slides.

The discussions focused on the following topics: An overview of the event, event description, corrective actions, and SDP Analysis. During the conference, CP&L agreed that a violation of NRC requirements occurred and stated that corrective actions have been taken to prevent recurrence.
