. nosen s.. er mesorandum and his statesents irrtis afflesvit submitted to the U.S.

Distri.t Court for Massachusetts, I as forwarding Judge Rosenth61's memorandum dated December 14. Judge Rosenthat concludes that there i such conflict and provides a detailed explanatten supporting that conclusion.

With respect to'your suggestion that the Seabrook operating license be withheld until Mr. Conley answers his subpeona, I can' infers you that a full power license may not be issued at thIs time and will not be issued until the Cosnission concludes its tunediate effectiveness review and As Mr. Rosenthal's determines that full power Itcensing is appropriate.

manerandum suggests, there is simply a possibility that the inferentist sentrary to Judicial mandate, deals' Mr. Cemley is currently withholding, hat possittlity sept eastimme to be While t with safety-related estters.

there is at present no basis to conclude that str. Cemley's

(

explored,ld disclose safety concerns relating 90 the Seebeesk plant thst tapes wou the NRC staff has not already considered.

The Seabrook adjudicatory licensing proceeding incledes no open issue related to Mr. Conleys however, any infomation provided to the staff will be appropriately considered in its assessment of plant-readiness.

The Commission will receive that assessment in a briefing to be held no earlier than January 10. 1990 and consteer it before making its determination on license issuance..

Sincerely,
