RE: Seabrook ASR discussion - internal to NRC staff By way of summary for the ASR Discussion this week, the below listed items is presented. First I need for Suresh and George and Abdul to give their thoughts on the deltas between the MPR action plans and the NextEra implementation schedule. Also we need a solution on what tests need to be done that we do not see NextEra planning with themselves or their contractors. Thanks to David Hills in Region III he will be providing an inspector to oversee the testing at WJE in Illinois next week which I understand is 18 cores from the Control Building for which they will test for compressive strength and tensile strength.

NextEra Cntrl Contractors ASR...

Some initial thought on inspection planning for oversight of contract work and on the deltas are in the attached draft plan. Atif this is a later revision of what was sent earlier.

We are ok with the revised PODs and can wait till the Engineering Evaluation on March 2012. We are not ready to Exit but we should interact first with NextEra on the findings and status of the unresolved items. We will discuss this more at the status call of Wednesday Nov. 16 at 1030am.

I informed the Licensing Manager that it is very difficult to understand what they are planning to do if there is a disconnect between the MPR plans and the NextEra implementation schedule. More detailed questions would be posed at the status call. A tentative list is at the bottom of the attached draft inspection plan.

Tentative we might be able to do exit on standalone report on Tuesday Nov. 29 when Chris Miller is on site with I and Suresh. We can tie in Michael Modes and any others if needed.

Again we need thoughts on what are they not doing and should be doing - we are only 3 months from March the Engineering Evaluation.
