This noticed meeting is to discuss the computerized program developed by Bill Vesely and implemented by at least one utility, (PP&L—Susquehanna) to risk-inform their corrective action program. The meeting will focus on the program's use and application, associated results and findings, and potential for application in this and other areas of the regulatory process.
