Stuart -

Fyi. Talked to Pete a few minutes ago. We filed a warranty claim with
Westinghouse. We will be running all units tomorrow, and we'll have a
Westinghouse engineer there to work on the problem. Pete has since called
all the people below back to explain what we are doing to verify whether
there is a problem or not.

Subject: Vibration Complaints at Gleason

Well, it continues. We have received 5 complaints from the vibrations
resulting from operation of Units #1 and #2. I have personally been to each
individuals residence since this morning to monitor for the vibrations and to
listen to the individuals. In all, every person just feels a little
frustrated by the problem, I have not ran across anyone that has been
unfriendly. Below I will list the individual complaints and my findings
visiting their residence.

Karen Ellis - Most likely the cause of most of the complaints, they are the
closest to the facility and have the most vibration from the units. While I
was at their residence I could feel the windows rattle, and at some points
feel the walls vibrate. There is a definite vibration present at this
residence.

Mr & Mrs. King - They called and complained but were unavailable to visit
their residence, they live in the same vacinity as Karen Ellis.

Lynda Stout - Very next house after Karen Ellis, stopped and visited with her
and Richard Black this morning, they are complaining about the vibrations but
while I was there I could not determine if there were any vibrations
occuring. Cannot eliminate the possibility.

Richard Black - Same as above, he seems like he may cause a little bit of
trouble. While I was visiting he said that he has rental property (the
trailer park) that he could not rent due to the vibrations. I could not
determine if Vibrations were present or not.

Clint Fuqua (something like that) - Lives in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION from all
other complaints. He stopped by this morning to complain (and pick up his
dog). I went to his house and visited, could not feel vibrations from his
residence, I believe if the wind direction were to change he would experience
some noise and vibration.

In all, everyone is just wanting to know if this will be permanent or just
temporary. I have explained to everyone that this will be temporary till we
can obtain the proper information to find a solution. The vibrations seem to
be getting worse as we run, I believe that Westinghouse has a problem in the
exhaust transition that they need to investigate.

I spoke with Curt Smith this morning and expressed the severity of this
problem and recommended that they get someone up here tomorrow, we are trying
to environmental testing out here tomorrow, I should know this afternoon if
this is possible.

We are also experienceing cracking in the exhaust area on the units,
Westinhouse is investigating as we speak. I believe they are associated.

Will keep you updated on the testing. Weare going to dispatch tomorrow, thats
why I want to get everyone out here if possible.
