RE: Just got a Call from Mr. Heacock, Dominion Date: Friday, August 26, 2011 3:54:34 PM Rick- I will confer with DE to make sure that we have a unified position in NRR. 10 CFR 100 Appendix A Paragraph a.2 states, "If vibratory ground motion exceeding that of the OperatingBasis Earthquakeoccurs, shutdown of the nuclearpower plant will be required. Priorto resuming operations, the licensee will be required to demonstrate to the Commission that no functional damage occurred to those features necessaryfor continued operation without undue risk to the health and safety of the public."

I would interpret this requirement to mean that NRR would have the lead on the restart approval-of course with involvement and input from the Region.

FW: Just got a Call from Mr. Heacock, Dominion Who has lead on the approval may center on whether an SER from NRR is necessary. If an SER is needed, NRR would likely have the lead to issue the restart approval. If no SER is needed, R1I would likely have the lead for restart approval. In either case, DE will have the heavy lifting regarding the acceptability of the licensee's technical evaluation and NRR/RII/OGC would be involved.

RE: Just got a Call from Mr. Heacock, Dominion Eric and Vic, While I was reading this email from Len, I received a call from Bill Borchardt that he had received an identical call to Len's from Dave Christian. Two additional bits of info that Bill shared:

- Since they exceeded their DBE, Christian indicated that they are now "required" to get NRC approval for restart

- The 50.72 reports would likely occur around 4:30 I had been asking about restart criteria and approval expectations and had not yet gotten to the bottom of the question - Sorry!!

Bill asked that Eric come to the 8:00 events meeting Monday morning with an understanding of the restart approval requirement and who specifically approves restart: Region II, NRR, EDO???

The staff was just beginning their 1:30 call to prepare for the AIT call with the licensee at 3:30 and I Informtinog inthis record was deleted in accordance with t Freedom of Inlormation Act, exemptions Co POlW iIZ

Ni took that opportunity and informed both the NRR (DE and DORL) and RI1 staff of the expectation that they prepare Eric/Vic(?) for the 0800 Monday meeting. Iwould suggest that Eric get a pre-brief on the North Anna situation and restart requirements at 7:30. I will set up that meeting. Vic, you are, of course, welcome to participate in these discussions and meetingsf(b)(6)

(b)(6)

Sherry, please schedule a 30 minute briefing for Eric in G20 at 7:30, subject: North Anna. Include Eric, Bruce, Vic, Guitter (and staff), and Hiland/Wilson (and staff). Also put an 0800 30 minute meeting on Eric's calendar to attend the "EDO events briefing" on Monday morning.

Just got a Call from Mr. Heacock, Dominion He informed me that the best information they have at this time is that the acceleration experienced at N. Anna could have been up to 1.5 X the vertical DBE and up to 2X the horz DBE (at some freqs). They are going to begin making the 50.72 reports (at least one 1 hr call) that are required now that this determination has been made and ensuring compliance with the applicable TS action statements. He also stated that the data aligns very closely with the GI 199 spectra. Licensee thinks the best information (most direct) regarding the acceleration experienced will be from the scratch plates in lower containment

- expected to be available soon. I informed him that we were working towards a 3:30pm call with his organization to discuss our information to date and our reactive inspection decision (if we have made it). He stated that such a call would not impact their hurricane preps and they would stand by to support it.
