Dear Ms ST,
amiris:
Thic ie in response to your letter of May 10, 1983 On reading your letter, I conclude that there remain a few areas of disagreement between us.
I will state my position in this letter.
Should you wish to pursue the matter further, I will schedule a conference call with the Hearing Board.
I am also sending a copy of this letter and your May 10, 1983 letter to the Board to assist them in understanding the controversy in the event of a call. '
-Areas of Dinacreement 1.
Documents Related to the CCP (Your Letter, Page 1)
You indicated in your letter, at Page 1, that you " received many documents on the CCP", but still are lacking certain documents.
I have stated previously that, in our vie,v, documents pertaining to the development of the CCP have been supplied.' It appears that the dispute centers around whether meetings held in August and September 1982 with the NRC Staff relate to the " Construction Completion Program."
The particular request at issue covers documents relating to the Construc-tion Completion Program (including internal meeting notes or meeting summaries, including notes of meetings with the NRC) Tr. p. lh181. This request was interpreted by me, by those gathering the documents and by Mr Don Miller, one of the principal architects of the CCP, as encompassing those meetings or deliberations, within CP Co or with the NRC Staff, embracing the CCP.
As indicated in documents already supplied to you, the CCP took shape mostly in November-December 1982. While the meetings with the NRC in August and September had a loose relationship to the CCP, the meetings were held in response to specific NRC concerns voiced at that time. The CCP was not an item of discussion.
Indeed, the CCP, as a proposal, did not exist.

{DRADOCK 05000329 PDR r
O
2 To suggest that meeting minutes from the August-September meeting relate to the CCP stretches the plain meaning of the term "CCP."
In the same sense, meetings held on the D/G Building inspection, the subject of a dif-ferent discovery request you made, relate to the CCP. Also, documents on the independent audits, also a separate discovery request, relate to the CCP since they are an element of it.
If your request as initially envisioned had the breadth now ascribed to it, why were those other requests necessary? All of this suggests to me that your discovery request has been expanded.
2.
Documents Relating to the QIP (Your Letter, Page 3)
The particular request at issue here is "all documents which include answers as to when, how, by whom, and for what purpose the QIP was insti-tuted and implemented" (March 22, 1983 letter, Fred Williams to Barbara Stamiris and Mary Sinclair, Pages 2-3).
In response, we provided over five volumes of material, occupying over 100 pages. Apparently, you now request documents containing the " measurements" of QIP objectives.
I interpret this revised request as covering the charts, graphs, and other indicia of performance generated by the QIP.
This is clearly an expansion of your previous discovery request. Also, since the expansion is apparently based on information contained in the Company's September 17, 1982 letter to James Keppler, a copy of which was sent to you in September 1982, the documents could have been requested earlier.
I have stated previously on the record that the report-documents generated under the QIP are not a part of the formal QA program required by Appendix B, to Part 50, thus, this information would have limited weight in any event.
3.
A Requested Interrogacory Response on the IPIN Task Force (Your Letter, Page 4, Item 3)
Discovery relating to the IPIN Task Force has been considered and ruled upon by the Board. Absent a Board Order, I will not entertain further requests on the subject.
4.
Documents Relating to Containment Cracks (Your Letter, Page 4, Paragraph 8)
On Page 4 in Paragraph 8 you asked for documents pertaining to contain-ment cracks referred to in Inspection 83-01.
You admit that your request, as initially presented, identified the references as from the D/G Building inspection. As a result, our response covered the containment chipping item in the DGB inspection.
In responding to the original version of your request, a paralegal made a separate trip to the Midland site, engineers searched their files, and other review time was expended. A number of documents were turned over. Although I recognize that you are not an attorney, I believe that you have some responsibility for the accuracy of references,especially when my client must incur the expense of your error.
Under the above circumstances, I believe that it would l
be a disservice to my client to accept a modified version of this request.
'5 5.
Audit Reports from 1982 or 1983 (Your Letter, Page 5)
You requested audit reports from 1982 or 1983 not included in the pack-ages previously submitted to the Board and the parties. As you may have
. observed, my office receives copies of all MPQAD audit reports, which are periodically sent to the Board and parties.
I plan to make such a submittal during'the last week in May, which would cover audit reports received by my offica as of that time. My records indicate that the first such submittal was made on July 26,.1982, in response to a Hearing Board request.
I will absolutely and steadfastly object to requiring MPQAD to search out all audit reports of 1982 prior to my first submis-sion. This is clearly a totally new discovery request.
Related Subjects not in Dispute 1.
At Page 2 of your letter, middle of page, you request " documents relating to the recent selection of Stone & Webster (S&W) to conduct the
.CIO."
I will provide a copy of the recently issued CIO specification.
This document apparently was generated during the time we were responding to your last request, and is in any event in the Public Document Room, but will nevertheless be provided. Your letter also asked for documents relating to the selection of S&W for the C10.
In my opinion, this clearly goes beyond your previous discovery request, (see Tr. p. 14184) but in the interests of cooperation I will ask the paralegals to once again search the files of Messrs. Cook and Miller for these additional documents.
I doubt that there will be many such documents, if any at all.
2.
Your letter Page 2 - Bo tom-(Relating to INP0 Evaluation)
No such documents have been found thus far.
I have asked the paralegals to do some additional searching.
In the event relevant documents are located, I will forward them to you in the mail as soon as possible thereafter.
2 3.
At Page 4, Paragraph 5 of Your Letter The only documents relating to the NRC's investigation or any in-house investigations of the alleged Order violations are my notes, described Tr. p.
14197.
You agreed on the record that these documents are privileged.
4.
At Page 4, Paragraph 6, of Your Letter You have-received our documents on'this subject as attachment to the NRC's investigation report. The only documents relating to an in-house investigation are my personal notes of the NRC's investigation, described Tr. p. 14198 et. seq., for which a privilege has been claimed and upheld.
L Additionally, there is a memo generated last week by a paralegal working under orders from me in preparation for the hearing.
I claim attorney
