2 As you may be aware, Hope Creek was initially sited 3 at Newbold Island, New Jersey, which had a relatively high 4 population density around the site. And due to this 5 consideration, there were a number of design features that 6 Hope Creek has that are carryovers from the Newbold Island 7 days, and we'll address some of these because they are '

8 unique. In particular, they have a secondary containment of a C# I U t 9 concrete, 4W illion cubic feet concrete secondary 10 containment which is unique to any of the BWRs.

11 Finally, I wanted to indicate my views on Hope Creek 12 as I saw it. I was up there a few months ago with the NRR 13 management review meeting, which we do a week or few before 14 plants are licensed. And I was particularly struck in my 15 review of the plant by the cleanliness of the plant. Even 16 though there was work in progress, the plant was very clean 17 and well organized. Talking to the people, operations people, 18 maintenance people, the attitudes seem very professional, they 19 seem to know what they were doing.

20 secondly, the training facilities were extensive and 21 seemed to be very well organized. Not just the training for l

22 plant operators, but also very extensive facilities for the 23 mechanics, maintenance people, I&C, electrical -- they had a 24 great deal of in-plant equipment that they could learn their 25 arts at in the training facility.
