Dear Sir,

I am preparing a full response to your emails of today and have spent some time on it.

However, in the meantime perhaps you would be interested in the item below, since you stated in your letter today, "Since 1998, there have been 0 unplanned automatic scrams."

This is from today's DAILY PLANT STATUS REPORT at the NRC web site:

"3 PERRY 1 0 07/11/01 Hot Shutdown * 1 AUTOMATIC REACTOR SCRAM, HIGH PRESSURE CORE SPRAY/REACTOR CORE ISOLATION COOLING SYSTEM INJECTION, AND FULL BALANCE-OF-PLANT ISOLATION FOLLOWING AN UNSPECIFIED, INTERNAL, ELECTRICAL TRANSIENT (Refer to event #38131)"

So much for "0 unplanned automatic scrams"

Sincerely,

Russell Hoffman
