WNP-3 4 For each of the following Contractors please describe the work performud and why the costs are charced to WNP-3.

The Supply System submitted several responses to NRR Requests for Additional Information regarding near site geology in June 1986. However, a meeting to discuss these responses with the staff and USGS was not held until July 1987. It is not evident that any USGS activity was conducted much earlier than the July 1987 meeting. For this cost, please describe the activity conducted by U5GS and the product received by the NRC.

O As described above, at appears that WNP-1 was erroneously charged

$11.984 for Readiness Review which should have been charged to WNP-3.

If so, please describe the work performed by the Contracto", INEL (A6176).
