2 petitions: safety valves and secondary containment

Mr. Mulligan,
Your two (2) petitions dated March 17, 2011, regarding the reactor building shell concrete cracks and main steam relief valve were assigned to the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) for review. My name is James Kim, the NRR project manager for the Division of Operating Reactor Licensing (DORL) and I have been assigned as a petition manager.


In accordance with the 10 CFR 2.206 process, the Petition Review Board (PRB) is offering you an opportunity to address the PRB to provide any additional explanation or support for both petitions before the PRB makes initial recommendations. If you want a teleconference, you will have approximately 1 ½ hours (90 minutes) to discuss both petitions at the same time. Please let me know whether you would like to address the PRB.


Thanks
James Kim
Project Manager, DOR

Notice how this comes up the same day they give me a petition....this questions if this should have all been cleared up before they gave them a new license...
