Dignan, Esquire Ropes and Gray 225 Franklin Street Boston, Massachusetts 02210 Gentlemen:

NECNP has assembled five experts to examine and testify concerning the adequacy of security provisions at Seabrook.

They include Robert D. Pollard of the Union of Concerned Scientists and Paul C. Leavitt, former Chief of Police of the Town of Hampton, New Hampshire, whose qualifications were presented to you and the Board in a letter of July 9, 1982. In addition, Patrick R. Lowrey and Herbert M. Dixon of Draco Lion International, Inc., and Robert Mark, current Chief of the Hampton Police Department are assisting us on this issue.

As their resumes indicate, these five witnesses possess the " practical knowledge or its equivalent" necessary for qualification to examine the Seabrook security plan. Pacific Gas and Electric Company (Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2), 8 NRC 567, 569 (1978). Mr. Pollard's experience was discussed in our filing of April 12, 1982, and is described in the summary of his qualifications. His highly technical familiarity with the design of nuclear reactors, acquired over many years of experience with the NRC in such positions as a Reactor Engineer and Project Manager, have given him the expertise necessary to identify ways in which the reactor will be vulnerable to sabotage.

As Chief of the Hampton Police Department, Mr. Mark has first hand knowledge of the responsibilities and capabilities of the Hampton Police Department to respond to a sabotage incident at the Seabrook reactor. 11r . Leavitt has also served as Chief of Police for the Town of Hampton.

II ARMON & WEISS Messrs. Lessy and Dignan September 16, 1982 page two In addition, he has had considerable experience with the designing and evaluation of security plans, having reviewed or developed at least *.ifty during his career. In addition, as police chief he handled cases of sabotage to the municipal fire protection and lighting systems. Mr. Leavitt has dealt with the security problems of local businesses on a daily basis for many years, concerning the designing and evaluation of plans and the handling of both internal and external sabotage.

As described in their resumes, Mr. Dixon and Mr. Lowrey have extensive experience in the design and analysis of security equipment and plans, including plans for nuclear power plants. Mr. Dixon, who possesses special expertise in security hardware, has evaluated the performance and reliability of security equipment for both the nuclear industry and the government over the past nine years. Mr. Dixon has also participated in a joint study of nuclear plant security by the NRC, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Energy. Mr. Lowrey, who specializes in security program design development, implementation, and management, has ten years' experience in the evaluation of security force training for both industry and government.

Both Mr. Lowrey and Mr. Dixon have overseas commitments until early October. Therefore, we propose that sometime around October 15, we and NECNP's experts visit Seabrook to examine the plan and the site. We can then draw up specific contentions shortly thereafter.

Please let me know soon whether you will agree to this approach and what other information, if any, you would like us to provide.

Sincerely, WJ ff/ b f William S. Jordan, III Enclosures cc: Seabrook Service List

STAFF REP >UME PATRICK R. LOWREY PROFESSK)NAL EXPERIENCE:

Mr. Lowrey has over 20 years progressive experience in law enforcement and physical security in Europe, Asia, South America, and the United States. As a member of the private sector for approximately 3 years, he has managed a number of loss prevention projects for American and foreign multi-national corporations. These diverse efforts focused on increasing physical protection of corporate assets while reducing security costs and at the same time improving profit margins. During this period, he lectured for the National Bureau of Standards, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and the Defense Nuclear Agency on physical security matters including counter-terrorism. As an Army officer, he held the senior staff position in the Pentagon for Army-wide law enforcement and physical security.

Mr. Lowrey has participated in the assessment of physical security at sensitive f acilities throughout the world. He has managed the design of " turnkey" security systems at sites in both public and private American sectors. He is considered an expert in the state-of-the-art of physical security hardware technology. He chaired a study of the threat of international terrorism to the ArmyS facilities, resulting in a special focus by the Army to this key issue.

As the senior Army official responsible for physical security of Army assets, Mr.

Lowrey directed the promulgation and compliance of the Army regulation 190 series relating to policy and procedures for physical security, including conventional arms and ammunition and nuclear and chemical weapons storage sites. As Chief of Army Law Enforcement and Chairman of the Physical Security Review Board (DAPSRB), he managed the Army's FYDP (Five-Year Defense Program) for the worldwide deployment of 24,000 military police and security guards.

. PATRICK R. LOWREY (Continued)

Subsequently, as Director of Training Development for the Military Police School, he initiated and managed the revision of the Army's Field Manual 19-30, " Physical Security," which details the doctrine for physical security in both peacetime and combat environments. This manual bridges the gap between users' (tactical commanders) requirements and RDT&E efforts in tactical and non-tactical sensor system add-ons to 3-511D5. At both the Military Police School and the Pentagon, M r. Lowrey was personally involved in articulating users' requirements fer future add-ons, such as FIDS (Facility Intrusion De tection Systems) and REMBASS (Remotely Monitored Battlefield Sensor System). Mr. Lowrey conducted hundreds of discussions with field commanders relative to their special concerns and problems associated with J-SilDS implementation.

Of his many staff and line positions, Mr. Lowrey held several key Army posi-tions involving security operations. In Viet Nam, he commanded a 900-man combined police and security battalion with responsibility for the capitol city and surrounding province. In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he directed simultaneous security operations for three diverse and geographically separated installations, including an arsenal, a logistics depot, and an electronics procurement agency. In Korea, he commanded a 250-man security company that provided rail transport security for all U.S. Army materiel transported throughout the Korean penisula. This was a one of a kind organization in the Army during this period.
