Dear Sir:
The Maine buclear Referendum Committee is supporting a November 2 I
referendum in Maine which calls for the closing of the Maine Yankee nuclear power plant at Wiscasset in five years.
The MNRC has reviewed the June 12, 1981 report of the Committee on Government Operations titled "Incpecting Operating Nuclear Powerpl6_.tts: Shortcomings in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Program".
As you are undoubtedly aware the report raises a series of quections about the inspection program and makes a number of recommendations for 1
improving the inspection program.

We are particularly interested in the adequacy of the current inspection program at Maine Yankee and would appreciate it if you could provide i
the following informations (1) How many resident inspectors are currently stationed at Maine Yankee?
(2) On an annual basis what is the percentage of routine required inspections that is being completed?
(3) How long has the present inspector worked for the NRC in that I
capacity?
(4) What education or training qualified him for this position?
(5) Has any progress been made at this plant ir the directicn of more
" hands on" inspection, as the Committee recommended?
(6) In general, does the inspection record at Maine Yankee compare favorably or unfavorably with other nuclear plants in Region I?
Since7elg yours,
