UNITEDSTATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, O. C. 20555 FEB 6
88g Mr. Thomas Devine, Legal "Director Government Accountability Project 1555 Connecticut
- Avenue, NW Suite 202 Washington, DC 20036
Dear Mr. Devine:
At our meeting on Decembe~ 5, 1984, we discussed a number of matters relating to the handling of allegations concerning the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in an effort to assure a continued dialogue between the NRC staff and GAP to resolve all safety issues.
Subsequent to that meeting, we have given careful consideration to the various suggestions recently discussed.
Since the initiation of the Diablo Canyon Allegation Management P~ogram in late
- 1983, we believe that there has been substantial progress.
While many of the proposals to improve this process may have merit, we are concerned that a signifi-cant change at this point wou'Id likely be complicating and confusing, ultimately hampering our efforts to address these issues in a timely manner.
Several of'he concerns you raised were previously presented in correspondence and discussions with Mr. William il. Dircks, Executive Director for Operations.
In Mr. Dircks'etter to you dated September 24, 1984, he stated that a
cooperative spirit is needed to ensure the timely resolution of all allegations which could adversely affect the public health and safety.
We also share his view that changes to either the procedures or the NRC staff involved is unnecessary to achieve that objective.
Nevertheless, we will continue to strive to improve this process, whereve~
we reasonably can, to ensure that the results of our efforts are clearly understood.
We believe that the timely resolution of safety concerns regarding Diablo Canyon can continue to be accomplished within the existing procedures of the Diablo Canyon Allegation Management Program.
To assure this, the staff'il~
meet with you and/or your clients, where practical and to the extent necessary, to assure a correct and complete understanding of the issues raised.
We would also renew the ~equest made at our December 5, 1984 meeting, that you and/or your clients similarly be prepared to succinctly and accurately state the concerns and identify or provide any supporting documentation.
Consistent with manpower and budgetary constraints, the staff will, to the extent practical, also meet with you and/or your clients to present the staff's resolution of the matters raised.
As we agreed, such followup discussions should not to be used as a forum to delay the process by raising new issues that could and should have been brought forward initially.
yq)-275 8503200557 850206 PDR ADOCK 05000275 it P
Thomas Devine Me will continue our efforts to assure a satisfactory resolution for all allegations.
At the same time, we recognize, and trust that you do as well, that sincere differences of professional judgment may be encountered and prevent mutual agreement on the appropriate resolution for any 'given issue.
Such eventuality,
- however, should not deter us from continuing in a cooperative spirit
'I Please contact me if you wish to discuss this matter further.
