MEETING
SUMMARY
- OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION
Dear Mr. McCollum:
This refers to the meeting conducted by mutual request at the Region II offices in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 25. 1998, to discuss the status of plant performance issues. Enclosed are a list of attendees and your presentation handout.
It is our opinion that this meeting was beneficial in that it provided the NRC staff with a better understanding of Oconee Nuclear Station performance and your ongoing improvement initiatives. At the close of the meeting, you were informed of our intent to implement a management oversight group to keep abreast of Oconee recovery activities and emergent issues.
In accordance with Section 2.790(a) of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
Should you have any questions concerning this meeting, please contact Mr. R. Carroll at (404) 562-4511.
Sincerely, Original signed by Michael Scott (for)
