SUBJECT:
NRC STAFF DIFFERING PROFESSIONAL OPINION RELATED TO i
THE CONDUCT 0F THE SALP FOR COMANCHE PEAK In the enclosed memorandum to the Chairman dated October 4,198g an anonymous group of "NRC Staff Inspectors" asserts that (a) the Comanche Feak Plant is not ready for fuel loading and (b) the pending SALP report related to TU Electric's i
performance in the preparation of Unit 1 for plant operation is neither accurate nor. complete. The memorandum also implies that NRC inspection reports and other documents have been edited to create en untrue impression of the plant. The menerandum'is critical of both the SALP Board's findings and the qualifications i
of the Board members to draw conclusions on TU Electric's performance. Mareover.
L the memorandum specifically states that the NRC managers on the SALP Soard deliberately excluded information se as to give a false impression of the plant.

days (copy enclosed) quested their consents on the Board's findings with Comanche Peak and re In addition, we are informing the Comission of the actions that will be taken to address the issues ra< sed in this memorandum.

l which requests that the NRC staff identify any issues that may have been i
L neglectec and may have a bearing on the licensing decision for Comanche Peak Un't 1.
