RE: Re: [External_Sender] Hi John, a question re: a document you wrote in April 2013 Mr. Kamps for your question and the follow-up. My apologies I got a little behind today.

I did review the issue with the Agency's experts and I confirmed the date listed for Diablo Canyon is accurate as 2033. I do want to note, as stated in the answer for question 4, this value is an estimate. Updated fluence calculations, capacity factors changes, power uprates, new surveillance data, among other items can change these estimates.

I hope this answers your question.

[External_Sender] Hi John, a question re: a document you wrote in April 2013 Hi John, How are you?

I have a question about this April 18, 2013 document you wrote:

See Point #4, on Page 5 of 15 on PDF counter.

Re: this listing:

1. Point Beach 2 (2017)

2. Palisades (2017)

3. DiabJo Canyon 1 (2033)

4. Indian Point 3 (2025)

5. Beaver Valley 1 (2033)

Is this completely accurate? Is #3, E>iablo\;an)'on 1 (20$$) a typo? It says 2033, but is it supposed to say 2023?

I ask because the weird order has always seemed odd to me. It appears to be a chronologically ordered list, but #3 is out of order. But if it is 2023, that would put it back into chronological order.

The Kalamazoo Gazette seems to have interpreted it that way, reporting last summer the Diablo Canyon 1 date not as 2033, but rather 2023:

[see 8 paragraphs down in the section entitled "A crucial question of safety".]

Any clarification/confirmation you could provide would be most appreciated. Thanks.
