Executive Director for. Operati ns U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Com.ission Washington D.C. 20555 Re: Licensing Board Notifications84-004 (1/5/84) and 84-007 (1/12/84)

Dear Mr. Dircks:

The above-referenced Board Notifications regarding Chairman Palladino's briefing on environmental qualification of equipment by Sandia Labs in December 1983 and the subsequent Commission meeting of January 6,1984, were,sent to the Board and parties of several operating license proceedings.

Not included in either service list as recipients were the Licensing Board and parties to the Washington Public Power Supply System Nuclear Projects 1 and 3 proceedings. In both of these cases, there is an ad-mitted contention regaroing the environ = ental qualificatien of safety-related equipment - the very subject of these documents.

This, of course, is not the firrt time we have had to discover information the "hard way". We find it irreprehensible, however, that on an issue as important to safety as this, for two outstanding applications for operating licenses where the issue has been ad=itted for litigation, that your- Mr. Eisenhut could twice neglect to ensure service. This raises a few issues other than the competency of your staff, namely:

--Is it the status of construction or of the proceedings for WNP-1 and WNP-3 the reason for omission of service?

--If so, what other Board Notifications of relevance to these plants have not been served on the Board and parties to these proceedings?

--If the reason is unrelated to the current status of construct!on of the proceedings, what was the basis for the crission?

We look forward to a full response to these queries, as well as the ap-propriate remedy to the specific matter we have raised here.

For a non-nuclear future, Nina Bell eA >
