Subject: Powernet: Down posting surveys

            Wolf Creek has the following questions for down posting surveys:


1.    At your site, do you require a peer check for down posting HRA's/LHRA's?  
Yes, by Supervision

2.   At your site, do you require an independent survey from another
      technician for down posting HRA's/LHRA's?


 1.  At your site, do you require a Supervisor to perform a review of the survey
map prior to down posting HRA's/LHRA's?

     We are trying to determine what constitutes a peer check (e.g. independent
     survey, two technicians signing same survey, etc.)

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
