RE: Peach Bottom SOARCA Site Visit Bob, Thank you for providing the number. Sorry, when I spoke with Security, it does not appear that they have access to that prior information. Having the numbers in advance allows the paperwork to be completed in advance. It can be provided the day of the visit, but it will slow things down while the process the paperwork.

Chris, Security found that you have an Exelon badge for TMI. They will make it active here at PB. Just bring it with you and they will register your hand once you get here.

Sent meeting notices for the entrance and exit meetings that the site desires. Other than that, I think we are now set.

RE: Peach Bottom SOARCA Site Visit Thank you Fred.

Robert Prato, xxxxxxxxxx If Exelon keeps visitor information, they should have everything they need from the 3 visitors from HQ (Jason, Charlie and myself).

RE: Peach Bottom SOARCA Site Visit We are set for Thursday, June 10, 2010 at 9:30 a.m.

The Operations 8.5.b coordinator (SRO) and the EOP/SAMG procedure coordinator will'be available to walk down the strategies of interest.

As I indicated before, I will need your name as it is printed on your photo ID (NRC badges or drivers' licenses) and SSNs to facilitate timely site access.

RE: Peach Bottom SOARCA Site Visit Ray I agree with you and if I said anything that implied that, I apologize. I just wanted to emphasize that any SOARCA related activities are not inspection activities.

We chose either 6/9 or 6/10. Ifeither is preferable to the licensee we will go with that date. If neither is preferable, let's go with 6/9. We plan to be on site from about 9:30 am to about 2 pm. If their management wants a debrief, we will be glad to stay. We do need a knowledgeable escort as described previously.

We will also stop by the residents office to let them know we arrived, we are departing, and answer any questions that they may have. Upon our return, I will call John Hughey and let him know how things went just for information.

Thank you for your support, Robert Prato Senior Reactor Operation Engineer NRO / DCIP / CQVA T7D43 / 415-6035 From: Powell, Raymond Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2010 1:55 PM To: Prato, Robert; Krohn, Paul; Bower, Fred; Hughey, John Cc: Ziedonls, Adam; Tinkler, Charles; Schaperow, Jason

RE: Peach Bottom SOARCA Site Visit 2

. I a I don't believe anyone has said you can't walk down the protective measures - I think most comments.have been looking to help you gain any efficiencies. Work with Fred and pick a date.

RE: Peach Bottom SOARCA Site Visit Paul The ACRS request was to walk down the mitigative measures, if we cannot do that maybe we should not go.

Again our perspective, objectives and focus will be considerably different from the inspection activities. We have no plans to impact the region or the residents.

We should get what we can from the previous TI and inspection report.

That being said, presenting to the ACRS is important and I can understand the desire for the SOARCA engineers to have verified some of the licensee's statements and ascertains. Therefore, I would recommend some form of a site visit, but with a minimal impact to the resident staff and licensee.

RE: Peach Bottom SOARCA Site Visit All,,

A couple of things regarding this request:

(b)(7)(F) 3

, . A Second, it is Exelon policy for visitors to the site to meet with plant management even ifthey are only here for working level activities. So I would suggest that ifa site visit is necessary, the visit schedule should allow for 1/2 hour long entrance and exit meetings. If a visit is needed, please let me know if you would like the meeting from 9:30 - 10 or 10 - 10:30 AM and 1:30 - 2 or 2 - 2:30 PM?

Look forward to your response. I will not engage the licensee until I know that a visit is required. Please let me know ifyou have any questions or comments.

RE: Peach Bottom SOARCA Site Visit I also want to note that this would be a "working level" visit only (i.e. no meetings w/ plant management.)

FW: Peach Bottom SOARCA Site Visit Importance: High Ray, Paul and Fred:

Below is the request from Research for a Peach Bottom visit. The SOARCA PM, Bob Prato attempted to fill out the online form, but it failed to route as it should have. I understand that we had a similar problem last week and our tech folks are looking into this. In the mean time, I asked Bob to provide the details which are presented below. Of special note is that the request date is for next week ahead of an ACRS meeting.

Thanks, John In summary, here is the information you requested:

  • Jason Schaperow, Charles Tinkler, and Robert Prato will be the participants for this site visit.

" The site visit needs to take place next week in preparation for an ACRS meeting that is scheduled for 6121/2010. We are requesting 6/9 or 6/10/2010 between the hours of 10:00 am and 2:00 pm

" The reason for our site visit is as follows: During our previous SOARCA meeting with the ACRS, the staff was asked if we walked down the mitigative measures to assess their viability with regards to feasibility, timing and accessibility under extreme accident conditions. The staff is returning to ACRS and needs to report that we have walked down the mitigative measures in response to their request and then summarize our findings.

In general, we will need a knowledgeable escort to walk down the RCIC black start, and the portable pump and power supply hook-ups from the place of storage of the portable equipment, pre-staged tools and transport capability, the typical routes that will be used, the connection points, and a discussion on the hook-up process.

If you need any more information please let me know. Thanks so much for your assistance.
