April 15,1980 Docket No. 50-334 Mr. John A. Levin, Assistant Counsel Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission P. O. Box 3265 Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17128
Dear Mr. l.evin:
You letter to me dated March 27,1980 requested that members of the NRC staff appear before your Commission to give testimony on technical matters regarding the Beaver Valley Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 1.
We have consider % your request and will make staff members available to testify on matters related to the Beaver Valley turbine cracking problem, last year's shutdown of Beaver Valley as the result of concerns regarding the seismic design of piping systems and other safety related matters. Mr. Warren Hazelton and Mr. William Ross will be available to provide testimony on the turbine cracking problem. Mr. William Russell plans to provide testimony regarding the seismic design of piping systems covering the period March 1979 to present. Mr. Donald Beckman, Office of Inspection and Enforcement, who is the resident inspector at Bcaver Valley, will provide testimony on the seismic issue leading up to the shutdown of Beaver Valley. Mr. David Wigginton, NRC Project Manager for Beaver Valley will provide support in these and other areas.
I request that we adhere to the following procedures to accommodate the tight schedules of the NRC s'aff.
I propose that the initial examination of the NRC witnesses be in tne fonn of a deposition in lieu of prefiled testimony. This deposition could then be incorporated into the record and the NRC witnesses would be made available for cross-examination upon the information provided in the deposition. This procedure was utilized by the Maine Public Utilities Commission in a similar proceeding and was beneficial in reducing NRC staff resources.
Please contact Mr. William Russell of my staff at (301) 492-8041 if you need any additional infonnation.
Sincerely, Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation cc: See next Page 1
