Subject: Powernet: TLD/ED Discrepancies

Millstone would like to benchmark the industry regarding TLD/ED discrepancies 
and requests the following information:


1.       Approximately how many TLD/ED discrepancies do you receive annually?
Fleet-wide total (3 plants, 7 units)
2010 to date - 11
 2009 - 28
 2008 - 26
 2007 - 68
 2006 - 43
 2005 - 50
 2004 - 55
 2003 - 46
 2002 - 53


2.       At what frequency do you read TLDs? Semi-annually for 2010 and beyond, 
2009 and prior was quarterly

3.       Who is the vendor for your EDs and TLDs? We issue and process TLDs 
in-house for the fleet.  We also calibrate and maintain our EDs in house for 
the fleet under the same group.  TLDs are Harshaw Model 8801, EDs are MG 
DMC2000S.

4.       Do you calibrate the EDs to correspond to the TLDs, or are your EDs 
biased high? We bias our EDs 5% (believe we are low compared to the industry).

Thanks for your help,
