4 TXU Power Comanche Peak Site NRC Onsite Review Site Geotechnical Investigation Activities 12-13 December 2006 Agenda and Introduction

• Project Introduction

-Introductions

-Project Background and Status* Project Organization and QA* Site Investigations Overview* Site Orientation

-Site safety briefing-Logistics-Site tour Comanche Peak Site Background" Multiple reactor technologies considered

• Plant placement designs were developed that enveloped potential reactor technologies

• Multiple placements on the Comanche Peak site were considered before current placement selected* Geotechnical investigation commenced on borings common to all potential reactor technologies (Phase 1)* Geotechnical investigations will finalize site characterization after the reactor technology is selected (Phase 2)* Hydrogeological investigation

Project Organization Responsibilities Site Geotechnical Investigations

• WLA provides field project management for geotechnical and geologic data collection tasks" WLA Site Coordinator provides supervision of the day-to-day field activities

• Rig Geologist is assigned full-time with a drill rig.Responsibilities include:-Verify drilling or testing operations are conducted in conformance with specified procedures

-Document sample or test depths and test results-Maintain field logs of borings, including classification of materials recovered and description of geotechnical soil properties

-Chain-of-custody document preparation and logging samples Geotechnical Borehole Procedure" Work Instructions issued to drilling companies and Rig Geologists defining duties* Boring Assignments for each borehole prepared by WLA Site Coordinator.

Boring assignments specify:-Boring location-Boring type-Boring depth-Required tests-Boring Completion

• Rig Geologist directs Drill Crew to prepare drill site and perform drilling per Boring Assignment

• Rig Geologist monitors drilling, describes samples, maintains field log* Modifications to Boring Assignment instructions, if needed, reviewed and approved by Site Coordinator
