Subject:

Chairman Guidance RE:Rulemaking For Information At the Chairman's request I met with her for 15-20 mins. in her office. The Chairman indicated that we should defer our current plans for rulemaking on 72.82e which requires a 30 day period between submission of the pre-op test report by the licensee and first dry fuel load. The following are the principle reasons for this guidance:

1. Greater experience with our enhanced inspection program shoud be gained before eliminating this requirement.

2. Pt. Beach issues, both short-and long-term, should be reviewed and resolved prior.

3. Problems occuring (generally) with dry cask storage make the timing seem wrong now.

4. Utility planning should accomadate this requirement reasonably.

5, The optics of such a change at this time are wrong.

Will plan to discuss with you further but this is the gist of the guidance from the Chairman.
