MEMORANDUM TO: T. Rehm, Assistant for Operations, Office of Executive
, Director. for Operations FROM:
T. Bishop, Director, Resident, Reactor Projects 6 Engineering Programs Division, Region V
SUBJECT:
INQUIRY FROM CONGRESSMAN J.
WEAVER REGARDING WPPSS FINANCIAL PROBLEMS (NRC CONTROL NO.
13655)
As discussed with you on October 24, 1983 we have reviewed Congressman Weaver's letter of October ll, 1983 (Enclosure
- 1) and have determined that Region V does not have the information desired by the Congressman.
In accordance with your, guidance I have discussed this subject with representatives of NRR (Messrs.
Schwencer and Auluck) for further action by their office.'
We propose that the reply to Congressman Weaver should consider the following:
a.
The NRC is addressing the impact of the Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS) financial situation as it relates to the licensing of WNP-3.
(ELD has this action).
b.
The NRC is not addressing the impact of WPPSS financial problems on the licensing of WNP-2.
c.
The newspaper article implying that such a financial review (b, above) is being performed is not correct.
d.
As a part of the licensing process, the NRC does assess each utilities capabilities to properly handle significant safety problems (this is done by thorough reviews of emergency plans, observations of emergency drills, review of staffing levels and training, as well as other resources).
(May also wish to address Price-Anderson applicability, or other insurance measures which related to post-accident financing).
Please contact me if we can be of further assistance in this matter (FTS 463-3751).
