RE: Inspections--Steam dryer--Today's meeting at 1.00 pm at 09B6..Jim, Please inform the licensee that disposition of the detected flaws is critical for our review.

RE: Inspections--Steam dryer--Today's meeting at 1.00 pm at 09B6.Ganesh, I am more interested in reports documenting disposition of the detected flaws. Do these 20 or so inspection reports also contain information regarding disposition of the detected flaws? Or GE has separate reports to document the disposition?

RE: Inspections--Steam dryer--Today's meeting at 1.00 pm at 09B6.Gentlemen, VY has proposed that both GE and VY representatives are willing to bring the inspections reports (approx. 20 GE proprietary inspection reports) to NRC for tech staff to review the steam dryer inspection reports and answer any questions NRC tech staff may have. Please let me know if this approach is acceptable.

Inspections--Steam dryer--Today's meeting at 1.00 pm at 09B6.Importance:

High Pani, Tom, Simon and Billy.Here is my draft report on the inspection results (RF-26, 27 and 28) of the steam dryer and it contains status of new indications.

I still think we need to see the GE evaluation report which can provide information on the.licensee's justification for using less frequent inspections.
