Re: Peach Bottom 2.206 Petition Request
- John, Name the date and time, and i will be there. Give me a few days heads up if you can.
I had a nice talk with the VY inspectors about their SRVs yesterday...they were very gracious to me. Is your inspectors as nice and informed as VY's NRC inspectors? They said VY was all set with a new type seals already installed and they are qualified for much higher temperature. They gave me a lot of fascinating and interesting information.
Any chance I can get a brief from the Peach Bottom NRC inspectors before the 2.206 about their seal failure and history. Hey, it can't hurt just to ask. You never know?
- thanks, Mike From: "Hughey, John" <John.Hughey@nrc.gov>

Re: Peach Bottom 2.206 Petition Request
- John,
"if you agree to the NRCs processing your request under the 2.206 process" What does that mean, that I agree that the outcome will be fair and just for me and the nation? I have done many 2.206s and just completed talking to the Palisades PRB.
Can I please speak to the PRB as soon as reasonable.

Peach Bottom 2.206 Petition Request Mr. Mulligan, I have been assigned as the Petition Manager for the 10 CFR 2.206 petition you submitted to the NRC on January 24, 2012, regarding your concerns regarding the Buna-N threaded seals associated with the safety relief valves (SRVs) installed in Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS) Units 2 and 3.
Section 2.206 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations describes the petition process - the primary mechanism for the public to request enforcement action by the NRC in a public process. This process permits anyone to petition NRC to take enforcement-type action related to NRC licensees or licensed activities. Depending on the results of its evaluation, NRC could modify, suspend or revoke an NRC-issued license or take any other appropriate enforcement action to resolve a problem. The NRC staffs guidance for the disposition of 2.206 petition requests is in Management Directive 8.11, which is publicly available.
The 2.206 process provides a mechanism for any member of the public to request enforcement action against NRC licensees. Therefore, because you specifically requested in your letter that the NRC immediately shutdown Peach Bottom nuclear plant, in addition to other related actions, it was referred to the 2.206 process. The 2.206 process is separate from the allegations process which affords individuals who raise safety concerns a degree of protection of their identity. In the 2.206 process, all of the information in your letter will be made public, including your identity.
In addition, in accordance with NRC Management Directive 8.11 (which I have attached for your reference), you have the opportunity to address the NRC Petition Review Board (PRB) to further discuss your petition, either in person at the NRC Headquarters in Rockville, MD, or by telephone conference.
I would appreciate if you could advise me by February 3, 2012, if you agree to the NRCs processing your request under the 2.206 process. In addition, please advise me if you would like to address the PRB. If you would like to meet in person, I will need to schedule a formal public meeting at the NRC Headquarters. If you would prefer to address the PRB via phone, I will also work with you to coordinate a date/time during the upcoming weeks.
Thank you,
