• All cornerstone objectives were fully met

• Seabrook was in the Licensee Response column of the NRCs Action Matrix for all four quarters of 2007

• NRC plans baseline inspections at Seabrook for the remainder of CY 2008

15 NRC Inspection Activities at Seabrook

• 6000+ hours of inspection related activities

• 2329 hours0.027 days <br />0.647 hours <br />0.00385 weeks <br />8.861845e-4 months <br /> of direct inspection activities

• 2 resident inspectors on-site

• 13 Regional Specialist inspections

16 NRC Inspection Activities

• Team Inspections

- Component Design Basis team inspection

• Supplemental inspections
