William J. Dircks Executive Director for Operations

SUBJECT:

COMPLETION OF TMI-1 RESTART REVIEW The recent staff review which was the subject of my memorandum to the Ccmmission of May 19, 1983, concluded that the issues raised by the Hartman allegations should not by themselves prevent restart of.TMI-1.

Further, the staff concluded that, due to the open issues which..have been identified and which were not considered in the revalidation program, the staff can draw no conclusion regarding management integrity as it impacts on restart at this time. Therefore, the staff has initiated actions which will enable it to reach a current position on restart.

These actions will include completion of the review of the B&W-GPU lawsuit The review conducted to date confirms conclusions reached in the documents.

In order to consolidate consictration of this issue within our normal

licensing review process, I would like to have NRR complete the review of f$e B&W-GPU lawsuit documents which consist of (1) the trial transcripts and l

exhibits admitted into evidence, (2) exhibits used during the trial or identified by either party for possible use during the trial but not admitted into evidence, and (3) the depositions taken in preparation for the trial as well as the exhibits used in taking the depositions.1/ To assure a smooth transition in this effort, I will make available, for a short period on a dctail basis, those staff members who had been assisting fir. Stello in the review.

In addition, as the examination of the issues and documents identified in my llay 19 memorandum produces conclusions and recormendations, I will also look i

to I:RR to integrate them in an cvarall staff conclusion on management integ ri ty.

1/

The Staff is also aware of thousands of other documents possessed by the parties to the B&W-GPU lawsuit.

However, we are proposing to limit our review to the above B&W-GPU lawsuit documents. We believe s

these documents are representative and will reasonably identify all safety issues. This is because of the substantial effort undertaken by the parties to prepare the documents in an adversarial process which provided significant incentives for the parties to be exhaustive in their preparation. Obviously more information might be available from other documents, but from a cost benefit view, we believe our approach is reasonable.

It appears that a sensible way to approach the review of the B&U-GPU lawsuit documents and the other matters in my May 19, 1983 memorandum is to focus our ininediate attention on basic safety matters. 2f Specifically:

is there any new information,/ contained in the B&W-GPU lawsuit 3

documents and other documents possessed by NRC such as the Beta and RHR reports, and any other infomation developed by the ongoing investigations which is material to the resolution of: (1) the questions raised by the Commission in its August 9,1979 order (10 NRC 141) comencing the restart proceeding; (ii) the additional questions raised by the Comission in its subsequent order of March 6,1980 providing further guidance to the Licensing Board regarding the management competency issues (11 NRC 408); (iii) the specific contentions relating to these issues raised by the parties in the restart proceeding; and (iv) the issues raised by the Licensing Board in its reopened proceeding on the question of cheating.

If so, such infomation should be identified and evaluated as to whether any actions should be required before restart.

With regard to the specific issue of management integrity, there are at least two approaches. One is to defer restart until a review and investigation of 2

the impacted individyals is completed. The other approach is to separate out a

the corporate institution from corporate cr.ployees. He recom end the latter approach which divides the issue into two parts.

(1) the corporate institution, i.e., the stated policies and procedures of the corporate institution and (2) the individuals, i.e., past perfomance and current competence of the individuals responsible for implementing the corporate 2/

The purpose of this review is to resolve the restart issue and not g to prepare the NRC defense to the GPU v. NRC lawsuit. The Staff will in the review be alert to wfiether there is any new information that causes a fundamental change to our understanding of the cause of the accident.

3/

"New infomation" here refers to infomation not in the record developed by the Licensing Board.

. 9 policies and procedures. Absent new information, we do not believe it is advisable to expend time and resources to re-examine the stated policies of the corporate institution. This area, as well as the GPU organizational structure, has been reviewed by the staff and found to be acceptable. The competence of the management employees have also been found acceptable.

Therefore, we would focus our attention upon the past performance of individuals identified by the various allegations, reviews and investigations.

If we focus our attention on individuals, we could proceed on a schedule separate from the restart decision schedule, provided that certain of thea.

individuals are temporarily removed from safety related activity at TMI-1, cbsent a satisfactory demonstration by licensee that one or core of those ir.dividuals ccy be retained for an interim period while they are under investigation.

As reflec.ted in the attached organizational plan for TilI-1, we are dealing wi.th a finite number of individuals who were involved at Titl-2. Specifically we would review the assignments of these individuals on a case-by-case basis and propose reassignments as deemed necessary; we would assure that where an individual is removed, his replacement possesses the required qualifications for the position.

As for past actions of those individuals, we would carry on the various s

investigations and the review of documents and again, on a case-by-case basis as a conclusion is reached, either authorize return of the individual to his prior assignment position or take whatever enforcement action deemed s

necessa ry.

It may be that as we proceed down this path the number of individuals and positions involved and the actions taken will cause us to reevaluate this approach to dealing with management integrity.

Restart of the plant would not foreclose us from taking appropriate enforcement action at that tine.

Our recommendations then are as follows:

consolidate review of restart in !!RR including the review of the DMl-GPU lawsuit dccuments.

ontheissueo}managenentintegrity:

review assignments of individuals to TMI-1, direct reassignments as necessary, and review competence of replacements, if not already done, prior to restart; separate the issue of the past performance of individuals from the issue of the corporate institution, at least initially, and focus attention on individuals as an 3

enforcement matter on a schedule separate from restart.

orrecc)...................................................-...........................................................................

sun we) m..........................................................................................................................

If these recomendations cre acceptable, the Staff will provide the Comission an estimate of the schedules and resources necessary to complete them.

The staff believes that the above actions will provide all the information necessary for it to provide. the Commission its position on restart.
