February 1,1984 (201) 263-6797 Edwin H. Stier Esquire Kirsten, Friedman & Cherin 17 Academy Street Newark, New Jersey 07102
Dear Mr. Stier:
I as pleased that you have agreed to undertake an investigation for GPU Nuclear into the conduct of reactor coolant inventory balance measurements and responses thereto at TMI-1 and TMI-2.
With respect to TMI-2, the allegations made by Mr. Harold W. Hartman, Jr.,
a fonner employee of Metropolitan Edison Company, have been the subject of investigation by the United States Justice Department, which resulted in a Grand Jury returning an eleven-count indictment of Metropolitan Edison Company. The NRC also is investigating those allegations although it has temporarily suspended its investigation as a result of a request from the Department of Justice. TMI-1 reactor coolant inventory balance measurements are the subject matter of a current NRC investigation.
GPU Nuclear is cosmissioning your investigation because of its desire to:
1.
Complete its understanding of what was being done relating to conduct of reactor coolant inventory balance tests and the reasons for those actions so it can assure that corrective action taken to date to l
preclude inadequate testing is sufficient, and 2.
Fully understand the cause of arty defic (ancies in such activities including specifically whether they were the result of improper attitudes or inadequate performance by any of the staff.
The purpose of your investigation is to develop the fact basis to pemit GPU. Nuclear management to assess these two issues.
In conducting your work, priority is to be given to determining and reporting first the facts applicable to equipment, procedures, and people involved in assuring safe operation of TMI-1.
1 GPU Nuclear Corporanon is a su' t.idisiy of tiie Genesat Public Utilities Corporation c
l EMn M. Stiar Esquire Page 2 February 1,1984 While prior efforts by the company (such as the Faegre & Benson investiga-tion) uve provided inforination which has been useful, I believe that the effort you are undertaking is appropriate at this time to include con-sideration of information and pcssible sources beyond those included before.
In conducting your inquiry, you shall have full access to all company records and personnel. Within the scope defined herein, decisions on methods, approach, and structure of the investigation and findings thereof are to be your own. You are free and encouraged to contact others, in-cluding fonner GPU System employees no longer with GPU Nuclear, to develop your understanding.
To help assure that the results of your investigation are fully available to the NRC and the public, you should advise those you contact that no attorney-client privilege attaches to your efforts and our communication.
Your investination should be completed as expeditiously as possible con-sistent with neveloping the necessary facts, and I request you provide to me by February 28, 1984 a status report and written schedule for comple-tion of your effort (which must include a comprehensive written report).
This report will be provided to the NRC and to the Atomic Safety &
Licensing Board to whom the Hartman allegations have been referred for Hearing.
You will be reporting directly to me for this assignment.
The company will be notifying the NRC that it has arranged to have you proceed with this investigat' on.
Very truly yours, b-P. R. Clark President Pfk cc: E. Blake, Esquire /
