Palladino Chairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Ccmmission Washington, DC 20555
Dear Mr. Chairman:
It has recently come to the attention of this Subcommittee that an NRC investigation team examining issues at the Materford III nuclear plant conducted a series of interviews with various parties in June, 1983.
As part of the Subcommittee's ongoing interest in NRC investigatory practices, I am requesting information about the circumstances of these interviews.
On Tuesday, June 28, 1983, a four-member investigation team headed by Mark Peranich of the Office of Inspection and Enforcement, conducted an interview with the editor and a reporter from Gambit, l
a publication based in New Orleans.
The interview apparently l
concerned quality assurance problems at the Waterford plant.
I would appreciate your responses to the following:
- 1) Does NRC have a written or other established policy concerning interviewing members of the news media on investigatory matters?
- 2) What was tne reason for interviewing the editor and reporter from Gambit?
- 3) Did NRC of ficials ask either the reporter or the' editor for the identity of sources used in writing stories on the Waterford plant?
- 4) What information was obtained as a result of the interview?
5)What other parties have. been inter-viewed to date in connection with this particular inquiry?
- 6) Has the NRC requested additional meetings with either the reporter or the editor and, if so, for what purpose?
Additionally, I would appreciate it if youc. could supply me with l
a status report of this inquiry.
Your prompt response will be I
appreciated.
Sincerely, 8310060594 830908 PDR COMMS NRCC EDWARD J. MA E:Y, Chairman CORRESPONDENCE PDR Subcommittee n Oversight
