Counterproposal From Seabrook on ASR Meeting Last night I asked Mike Collins to explore NextEra's voluntary willingness to hand over the 5 concrete cores that were destined to be tensile strength testing but held back based on a new direction they were heading.
The new direction is being motivated by a Uni. Of Texas proposal to do some kind of testing that will address as-found mechanical properties of tensile strength, Poisson's Ratio, Modulus of Elasticity in addition to compressive strength. In case you were not following, the learning this week was that 15 cores in a lab in Illinois was only being tested to compressive strength only.
(b)(5)
Mike Collins and Michael O'Keefe got back to me by cell today. They said they need more time along with higher ups to make the decision on giving the cores to NRC but came in with a counterproposal.
I asked what they intend to do with the cores and they could not respond. They would like to come down for a management meeting in Headquarter (open or not is not relevant to them, but a level I subject to public observation only) in order to discuss in detail the Uni. Of Texas approach along with a summary of the literature research they have conducted. The week of Dec 19 is proposed to give them time to prepare but the would prefer the first or second week in January 2012. Once the methods or deltas are addressed they are also agreeable to an open meeting local to Seabrook for each party (NextEra and NRC to present how we are all proceeding. They were hoping a mutual agreeable path or paths could be reached at the headquarters meeting.
So you all can give me you alternate views but I would like only one vote per cognizant branch chief (Addressees above) - 3 projects and 3 technical. Hopefully you will brief your cognizant executive as those executives would have a great opportunity to participant and learn the issues so that reasonable decisions can be made. The decision on cores to the NRC would be at the headquarters meeting. Please respond before Nov. 23 so I can deliberate with management Monday Nov. 28. I am agreeable to an executive brief about a
