LOCATION:

Training Conference Room
Region IV
611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400
Arlington, TX 76011-4005
PURPOSE:
This meeting is a Predecisional Enforcement and Regulatory Conference,
the purpose of which is to provide the licensee an opportunity to present to
the NRC their perspectives on the facts and the process used by the NRC to
arrive at the potential Greater than Green finding and an apparent violation of
10 CFR 50.59 described in NRC Inspection Report 05000528/2004014,
05000529/2004014, and 05000530/2004014 (ML050050287). The potential
Greater than Green finding involved the failure to maintain design control of
the containment sump safety injection suction piping at all three PVNGS
units. Specifically, a significant portion of this piping was not consistently
maintained full of water since initial operation of all three units. The apparent
violation involved the failure to perform a written safety evaluation and
receive NRC approval prior to implementing changes to procedures in 1992
which involved draining, and maintaining drained, a significant segment of
containment sump safety injection suction piping. As part of our disposition
of this apparent violation, the NRC will determine whether enforcement action
is warranted.
CATEGORY 1:
The public is invited to observe this meeting and will have one or more
opportunities to communicate with the NRC after the business portion, but
