Fwd: Re: tritium inspection plan--technical contact Dave, Nick and Rick, I have spoken with the licensee (Jerry Panfield) on their inspection plans.

They will use the "Sahara" acoustical leak detection system from the Pressure*Pipe Inspection Co to. detect any other leakage sources (other than the vacuum breaker valves) from the 5 miles of affected piping. I plan to go to the site and observe one day of this testing on " .

December 22nd and provide any input and insights to John House for.his inspection followup.

Thanks,
