inspection issues Request to join conference call between AmerGen, New Jersey and NRC regarding Mr. Farrar, This is to confirm that last Thursday, I called Mr. Conte to request access to the meeting referred to above, which was to be held by telephone conference. Shortly after my request the meeting was canceled, but Mr. Conte informed me that he would advise me if it was rescheduled. Through another source I heard today that the meeting had been rescheduled for 4 pm today. When I called Mr. Conte at around 3:40 pm he informed me that the meeting was closed to the public because pre-decisional information was to be discussed. He suggested that I direct further questions to the General Counsel's off ice. That off ice subsequently directed me to you.

You informed me that the meeting is not a public meeting, but we agree that the information conveyed between the agency and AmerGen could not be protected by deliberative privilege. Instead, NRC's reason for not allowing me to even listen in on the call is that the meeting is a post-exit meeting continuation of the inspection process, from which the public are normally excluded.

After some discussion we agreed that you would either direct me to a written policy that clearly indicates that the public should not be permitted to listen in on such meetings, even when they are held by conference call, or, in the absence of such a written policy, you would confirm to me in writing exactly why I could not listen in on today's call.

I look forward to receiving one of the agreed responses in due course.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
