Dear Mr. Schimmel:
This letter confirms our plans as discussed between members of our staffs to hold a regulatory conference to discuss a finding preliminarily determined to be Greater-than-Green.
The details regarding the issue was conveyed to you in our letter dated December 7, 2011, and its accompanying inspection report. The meeting will begin at 1 p.m. CT on January 18, 2012, at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region III office, 2443 Warrenville Rd, Suite 210, Lisle, IL 60532. This meeting is closed to the public because it will involve security-related information discussion.
The regulatory conference is being held to obtain information to assist the NRC in determining the safety significance of the finding and apparent violation detailed in the above letter and inspection report. The conference will provide an opportunity for you to provide your perspective on the facts and assumptions used by the NRC to arrive at the finding, your assessment of the significance of the finding, your detailed corrective actions, including any root cause evaluation, and any other information that you believe the NRC should take into consideration in making an enforcement decision.
The NRC would appreciate receiving any supporting documents by no later than January 12, 2012, in order to make the conference more effective and efficient.
Following the conference, you will be advised by separate correspondence of the results of our deliberations on this matter.
