Dear Licensing Board Members:
In its " Memorandum of February 9,1982 Telephone Conference Regarding Intervenors' Motions to Reopen Evidentiary Record" dated February 11, 1982 the Licensing Board proposed a number of steps for resolving whether there are material facts and analyses underlying the " Recommendations of the TMI-2 IE Investigation Team (Operational Aspects)" dated September 1979 (the Martin Report) which if considered by the Licensing Board would cause it to l
materially modify its Partial Initial Decision dated Decemb3r 14,1981.
On or before February 24, 1982, the Staff was to file a progress report with regard to the Licensing Board's proposal.
In the first step proposed by the Board the Martin Report authors would be l
made available to intervenors UCS and Sholly for informal interviews in which intervenors would make a reasonable effort to explore the factual and l
analytical bases underlying the authors' recommendations.
Because the duty stations of all but one of the authors are outside the local area and because the expenditure of funds by the Commission to assist intervenors in the preparation of their cases, such as by assembling the authors in one i
location for face-to-face interviews by intervenors, is prohibited by statute, Staff Counsel determined whether any of the authors with duty l
stations outside the local area planned to be in the local area in the next month. Because only one of the authors had even tentative plans to be in the local area but not until March 17th and because Staff Counsel wished to participate in the interviews, Staff Counsel offered to arrange, at a time convenient to the intervenors, a telephone conference call with 6s 6

, Mr. Sholly, Counsel for UCS, Staff and Licensee and as many of the authors of the Martin Report as could be available. This proposal by Staff Counsel for making the Martin Report authors available for informal interviews was not acceptable to intervenors UCS and Shally.
Because of this apparent impasse the Staff is reporting now rather than waiting until February 24th.
Staff Counsel understands that Counsel for UCS plans to communicate intervenors' position to the_ Licensing Board.
l Sincerely, James M. Cutchin, IV Counsel for NRC Staff t
