came.uu l-1 Mr.MO.U.NDUM FOP.:
Commissioner Gilinsky l-Comnissioner Roberts Coms.issioner Asselstine Co=:issioner Bernthal FROM:
Nunzio J. Palladino SU3 JECT:
EICENSING DEIMS on March 9,1984, the EDO notified us that potential licensing delays, as of the end of rebruary, are 9 months for Shoreha.a and 5 months for Limerick.
On March 16, I had a status and scheduling meeting with the staff, OGC, OPE, and Tony Cotter to discuss these and other possible delays.
It turns out that, beyond Shoreham and Limerick, delays may arise for Waterford and Cor.anche Peak.
These possible delays are in addition to the difficulties being experienced at Diablo Canyon, Byron, Midland. Palo Verde, and Grand Gulf.
Briefing sheets were provided on allegations and on the problems at.a number of plants, and these were distributed to your offices to' assist in understanding the problem and preparing for the Bevill hearing.
I suggest that the Commission hold a special meeting to discuss the problems associated with the foregoing plants.
I believe it is important that we have such a meeting in the near' future so we can focus better on the issues.
We can address this at agenda planning.
Identified below are some thoughts that we might discuss at the meeting.
So that we can take steps to both (a) reduce the d51ays at Shoreham and Limerick that have been officially reported to us by the EDO, and (b) reduce the possibility that delays at other plants nay arise or, if they arise, be extensive, I propose the followingt
.j Tor Shoreham, have the Commission consider a proposal from OGC for an expedited hearing on the diesel problam, or proposals for other possible actions so that at least a low power decision might be possible while i
awaiting tesolution of the amergency planning issue.-
1 have asked the OGC to provide a paper on this subject soon.
In preparing this paper, the OGC.shobid 4
1 work with other offices within HRC at necessary.

For Limerick', have the staff determine whether the licensee will seek a low power authoriration, and have OGC (again working with others as necessary) determine whether there are any other steps that might be taken to expedite the hearing.
For Waterfohd and Comanche Peak, the EDO informed us that he has placed one senior executive in charge of identifying the problems and laying out solutions and schedules for,getting to a licensing decision at each plant.
In addition, I would like the EDO to determine how what we are doing relates to the Board.
I also want to, ensure that we are taking action with the licensee to correct, either by consultation or enforcement, as appropriate, any problems having merit that come to our; attention.
For Diablo Canyon, I suggest that we give careful consideration to the staff's proposal yesterday morning to proceed without going deeply into the other allegations unless a review shows serious problems not already dealt with.
For Byron, we probably need to wait to see what.the Appeal Board says.
Bowever, if a hearing is reopened,
/.
OGC (again working with others as necessary),
should prepare options for Cc= mission consideration to
.~'
expedite it.
We have a revidw by the Con =dssion of the Midland plant now scheduled for April 2, 1984 I suggest that the review include options prepared by the staff for subsequent agency action.
Tor palo Verde land Grand, Gulf, the staff should keep the Commission informed of actions' planned or needed.
In any event, staff review of the diesel generators should be completed on an expedited basis.
l Tor the general problem of last minute allegations that affect a number of plants, 2 recornend that the Connission consider developing a policy for handling last minute allegations.
Such a policy might include a deadline after which the threshold for allowing allegations to hold up a licensing action is very high.
Te-example, that threshold might be something like the followings new inforwation,.
supported by signed affidavits, and presented in a

disciplined way through established channels.
By copy, I would like OGC to explore. this and other possible approaches.
in a paper for-Comission review and decision.
l By copy, I would also.like.the EDD to respond to the specific 1
matters raised above and provide a paper to the-Comission-outlining the steps for dealing with potential delays.
This.
paper would be in preparation' for. a Commission meeting on -
this general subject.at the earliest.possible time.
j
't In keeping with my sbggestion for a Cormnission meeting in the near future,.I propose that papers be prepared within the next co.uple of weeks (at least by April 5) so that the i'
cor=nission could meet-about mid-April.
SECY, please track the above action items.
