105 1 know , go to the Section 11 and NOE qualifica ion and 2 acceptance standards tied int al I that.

3 hasn ' t figured out how to do th t part of it et . So 4 the f l aw to l erance analysis pa~t is okay .

5 But what they ' re p~stulating for initial 6 flaw size and where it comes fr t.m and how it t"es into 7 the NOE world and all that, the JI haven ' t figu ed that 8 out yet . I 9 So in my opinion , tnlat ' probably oing to 10 be harder than the technical flal tolerance par of the 11 code case and they just haven ' t d .ne that. So it ' s 12 probably got a ways to go. The lstrain rate c de case 13 I think I just saw a presentati 1 n t o weeks ag that ' s 14 up to draft rev 18 or something J J diculo l s. It s still 15 going through the working groub . I 16 I expect it I 11 problr ly be :its sued i , like ,

17 a year - somet h ing . i e t h at , ~n l'k I d tl h e I thi' t h eir 18 fatigue action plan that they h i ve for 3 says 19 once we get all these done we wa l t to get the r 20 to endorse them .

21 Then we ' re going to pt the in a 22 nonmandatory appendix in Section 3 in hich c 23 they ' re - the other issue wit J these code 24 there ' s nothing that would point you to them.

25 There would have to be - if they put it i j a nonm ndatory NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AN D TRANS CR \BERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.Wi (202) 234-44 33 . WASHINGTON , D.C. 20005-3701 ( 02) 234-4433

106 1 appendix now they ' d have to put some invoking wo ds into 2 Section 3 as to what would ever get you that a 3 and I think where it ' s NB-3121 or w~ateler the section 4 was I cited here you just add a sentence there and say 5 one way to address these effects is in the appe dix and 6 then they have it covered . But that s qr it e a w y s 0 ff .

7 CHAIRMAN RICCARDELLA : Okay . Th nk you .

8 So do we have any comments from a111ybody e l se in t e room?

9 Okay . Could we get the - it ' s open . Okay. i o we do 10 have , I understand , some people on the bridge line .

11 I wonder if we have any commen s from 12 people on the bridge line . Would somebody o 13 just say hello so I can confirm that it's op 14 PHONE PARTICIPANT : He~lo . No c 15 CHAIRMAN RICCARDELLA : Thank you *1 Okay.

16 So I guess with that the topic is closed . I thi k we ' re 17 going to - this is kind of a prelimi ary re iew in 18 parallel with it going on for public comment .

19 I think we ' 11 be addressing the is

  • ue when I

20 we get any comments back and I don ' t know if we 11 take 21 any full committee action on it.
