Thi ED0's staff is conducting an analysis of GPU and B&W Th transcripts.
A majority of.the Commission has voi.ed that 25%.;-
we ask the EDO to consider, in the work already underway, J
'Ma=P the questions raised in Commissioner Gilinsky's memorandum M D e..
of February 2, 1983.
I understand this task is currently
.gft-.;
planned to be completed.by about the end of March.
I also
.=
~
note that we have received a memorandum from the EDO on g c,
.L.:
February 17 to the effect that potentially significant M-J- '
information has been identified.
The EDO should continue s
.h.'
to advise the Commission on whether the record contains.any information which might affect the Commission's decision W
^
regarding the restart of Unit 1.
I I'believe.we should defer our partial decision on TMI-1 restart until we have the staff's analysis ~in hand and the
.~
applicable legal procedures have been followed.
Therefore, I propose that we first get the staff's l : _..
analysis.
Following that, we would request the parties' comments on the staff's analysis.
OGC and OPE would review
_T.
the staff's analysis and the parties' comments, and make
- W_r..
recommendations on possible changes to our draft TMI-1 JT decis* ion based on that review.

l
.O Commis.sioner Gilinsky feels thtt, at a minimum, the Commission should tell the parties now that they will be asked to comment on the staff analysis so that they will have time to familiarize themselves with the record in-GPU v. B&W.
I have no objection to this.

'.T;.N.
Furthermore, Commissioner Gilinsky states that, whatever M;C"-
the~~ Commission does, he still wants the General Counsel's 1-?
independent advice on the relevance of the GPU v.
.E transcripts.
Instead, I believe that the plan proposed above will provide the' General Counsel's input without T

With regard to' Commissioner Gi]insky's request that 0GC', as

a separate and less urgent matter, prepare a written 1.T.'~,. analysis of the effect which the'GPU and B&W settlement may

However, I would not deny c _,.,
This plan is acceptable to me.
y.
Commissioner Gilinsky access to OGC as an independent source
. of advice.
Therefore, I would support Commissioner Gilinsky's request that OGC independently review the transcripts of the GPU v. B&W tria'l.
I continue to believe that it is a bad business to block any Cornissioner's request for help from a
- Commission-level of fice such as OGC or OPE.
In this type of situation -- an adjudicatory matter on which the Coraission may 1
l be divided -- such action can'also be subject to some rather
~
unf ortunate misinterpretatio'ns.
