RE: Peach Bottom SOARCA Site Visit I am already working with the licensee to see which date is best for them.Once I get that, I will need names as they are on your NRC badge (bring the badge to the site) and SSNs so that you can get access as an escorted visitor.More to follow.37Aad fRipwp Senior Resident Inspector Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station USRNC, Region I, DRP, PB4 El Fred.Bower@NRC.gov 19 717-45g-7614 (worký1(b)(6) 3YjM-P -X (, From: Powell, Raymond Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2010 1:55 PM To: Prato, Robert; Krohn, Paul; Bower, Fred; Hughey, John Cc: Ziedonis, Adam; Tinkler, Charles; Schaperow, Jason

RE: Peach Bottom SOARCA Site Visit I don't believe anyone has said you can't walk down the protective measures -I think most comments have been looking to help you gain any efficiencies.

Work with Fred and pick a date.Ray Powell Chief, Technical Support and Assessment Branch Division of Reactor Projects From: Prato, Robert Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2010 1:29 PM To: Krohn, Paul; Bower, Fred; Hughey, John; Powell, Raymond Cc: Ziedonis, Adam; Tinkler, Charles; Schaperow, Jason

RE: Peach Bottom SOARCA Site Visit Paul The ACRS request was to walk down the mitigative measures, if we cannot do that maybe we should not go.Again our perspective, objectives and focus will be considerably different from the inspection activities.

We have no plans to impact the region or the residents.

RE: Peach Bottom SOARCA Site Visit All, Fred raises a good point, We should get what we can from the previous TI and inspection report.That being said, presenting to the ACRS is important and I can understand the desire for the SOARCA engineers to have verified some of the licensee's statements and ascertains.

Therefore, I would recommend some form of a site visit, but with a minimal impact to the resident staff and licensee.Paul From: Bower, Fred Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2010 11:51 AM To: Hughey, John; Krohn, Paul; Powell, Raymond Cc: Ziedonis, Adam; Prato, Robert

RE: Peach Bottom SOARCA Site Visit All, A couple of things regarding this request: (k\(7 17 kU\ A A AL Second, it is Exelon policy for visitors to the site to meet with plant management even if they are only here for working level activities.

So I would suggest that if a site visit is necessary, the visit schedule should allow for 1/2 hour long entrance and exit meetings.

If a visit is needed, please let me know if you would like the meeting from 9:30- 10or10 -10:30AM and 1:30 -2or2 -2:30PM?Look forward to your response.

I will not engage the licensee until I know that a visit is required.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.Thanks, Fred From: Hughey, John Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2010 10:53 AM To: Bower, Fred; Krohn, Paul; Powell, Raymond Cc: Ziedonis, Adam

RE: Peach Bottom SOARCA Site Visit 2 I also want to note that this would be a "working level" visit only (i.e. no meetings w/ plant management.)

FW: Peach Bottom SOARCA Site Visit Importance:

High Ray. Paul and Fred: Below is the request from Research for a Peach Bottom visit. The SOARCA PM, Bob Prato attempted to fill out the online form, but it failed to route as it should have. I understand that we had a similar problem last week and our tech folks are looking into this. In the mean time, I asked Bob to provide the details which are presented below. Of special note is that the request date is for next week ahead of an ACRS meeting.Thanks, John In summary, here is the information you requested:

• Jason Schaperow, Charles Tinkler, and Robert Prato will be the participants for this site visit.* The site visit needs to take place next week in preparation for an ACRS meeting that is scheduled for 6/21/2010.

We are requesting 6/9 or 6/10/2010 between the hours of 10:00 am and 2:00 pm" The reason for our site visit is as follows: During our previous SOARCA meeting with the ACRS, the staff was asked if we walked down the mitigative measures to assess their viability with regards to feasibility, timing and accessibility under extreme accident conditions.

The staff is returning to ACRS and needs to report that we have walked down the mitigative measures in response to their request and then summarize our findings.In general, we will need a knowledgeable escort to walk down the RCIC black start, and the portable pump and power supply hook-ups from the place of storage of the portable equipment, pre-staged tools and transport capability, the typical routes that will be used, the connection points, and a discussion on the hook-up process.If you need any more information please let me know. Thanks so much for your assistance.
