Dear Mr. Krich:
This letter is to inform you of a Category 1 public meeting which has been scheduled for April 4,
2011, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). The enclosed meeting notice provides
additional details. The purpose of this Regulatory Conference, scheduled at your request, is to
discuss the safety significance of one preliminary Greater Than Green finding associated with
one Apparent Violation that was documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000259/2010005,
05000260/2010005, and 05000296/2010005 (ML110610641). The finding dealt with the failure
to establish adequate design control and perform adequate maintenance on the Unit 1 low
pressure coolant injection (LPCI) outboard injection valve, 1-FCV-74-66, resulting in the valve
being left in a significantly degraded condition and residual heat removal (RHR) loop II unable to
fulfill its safety function. This conference will also address whether enforcement action is
warranted for the associated Apparent Violation.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be
made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from
the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS).
ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the
Public Electronic Reading Room).
Should you have any questions concerning this meeting, please contact me at (404) 997-4662.
                                                Sincerely,
                                                /RA/
