SUBJECT:
TRANSFER LETTERS AND OTilER MATTERS I t'@
e 1.
I understand that there may be a DPM/ DSS exchange of correspondence Q
with DDR which made the point that it was " hazardous" not to transfer an operating reactor from DPM to DOR before or shortly after the reactor y
reached a meaningful power level.
I understand further that the prior director of DDR agreed. There was further agreement on what DPM would i
keep as open items in the event of a transfer.
[
This is highly pertinent to TMI-2 which was licensed on February 8,1978, and which still had not been transferred to DOR as of March 28, 1979.
In k
view of the agreements referred to above, which I have never seen, but h
which we should get, we have to establish a record of the reasons for the l
delay in the transfer.
Long delays in transferring responsibility to DOR are not consistent with my understanding of some of the fundamental reasons for creating DOR.
i; 2.
On a different subject, I understand that some (at least one) senior NRR manager (s) several years ago had significant concerns regarding the DSS / DOR interface.
I further understand that at least one memorandum was l
prepared on the subject.
Furthermore, I understand that the subject was discussed at an NRR retreat (perhaps at the XEROX Conference Center in Leesburg, Va.) about two years ago - some months prior to Mr. Rusche's departure. More than likely minutes were takert at this retreat and followup i
memoranda written.
F We need to try to get these background documents.
They are needed for adequate exploration during the deposition of senior staff.
Without such; I-documents, we'll get the standard answers which sound good, but do not; L
recognize or address problems.
'y r
This area is important in my judgment because it may help explain, along-h g
with other things, why precursors are not analyzed, or, in the event that' s
they are by happenstance, even then they seem to fall into black h' oles within a small segment (e.g., a branch, section, or an individual) of the'.
