* [npp-US-Callaway] Reactor shutdown procedure at Callaway violates plant tech specs, decreases protection against reactor inadvertently starting up. That's the subject of a petition submitted in Sept 2011 by Lawrence S. Criscione, PE (573-230-3959, LSCriscione@hotmail.com). Mr. Criscione previously worked as an SRO at the plant. Today, NRC released emails related to Mr. Criscione's concerns. The bulk of the file is full copy of the petition itself, which was apparently truncated by original electronic submission.

Much interesting info in the file. Here's excerpts from on of the emails:

* A Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) at Callaway Plant wrote a condition report (CARS 200703001) In March 2007 questioning whether or not the plant's Technical Specificatlons allowed the P-4/564¡F FWIS to be bypassed In MODEs 1 & 2. Because this condition report was written just days prior to Refueling OUtage 15, plant management pressured the Senior Reactor Operator to withdraw his condition report. Because the condltlon report was deleted prior to it being sent to the plant's ScreenIng Committee, It does not appear In the Callaway Action Request System's database; however, I have a hard copy of the origlnal report.

* As a former submarine officer, I assume you are familiar with the following quote from Admiral RIckover:
A major flaw In our system of government, and even in industry, Is the latitude allowed to do less than Is necessary. Too often officials are willing to accept and adapt to situations they know to be wrong. The tendency Is to downplay problems instead of actively trying to correct them.
I believe that If you choose to look Into this Issue, you will find that the tendency to "downplay problems instead of actively trying to correct them" was not only present within Ameren when they consiously chose not to revise their Technical Specifications prior to blocking P-4/564¡F in MODE 1, but is also present in our own Region IV where they have allowed Callaway Plant to conduct practices, for which they cited Wolf Creek, because Ameren was able to get a less than adequate safety evaluation past NRR In the mid-1990s (A safety evaluation which only addressed bypassing the P- 4/546¡F FWIS in MODE 3 and was silent on MODEs 1 & 2).
