SUBJECT:

REFERENCE:

NRC Letter Dated June 13, 1984, Docket No. 50-382.

Dear Mr. Eisenhut:

Louisiana Power & Light has established a major program, with significant commitment of management resources, to address the issues raised in your letter to me of June 13, 1984.

I am enclosing for your information a prcgram plan which describes the organization of our new program and the methods of approaching resolution of the issues you have raised. Key to our program is the designation of an outside, highly qualified Task Force to assist in the development of our plans for resolution and to independently r.ssess the adequacy of the resolutions and their saf ety significance. The Task Force will consist of Larry L. Humphreys President , UNC Nuclear Industries, Inc., Saul Levine, Vice President, NUS Corporation, and Robert L. Ferguson, Chairman, UNC, assisted by suitable UNC and NUS personnel.

The Task Force will independently review LP&L's proposed resolution of the matters, and will report directly to me. Formal reports to me will be simul-taneously provided to you. The Task Force's charter is set out in my June 20, 1984 letter to the Task Force, enclosed.

We have also designated a top management team dedicated to resolution of the issues and administration of our program. The team is headed by Dale E. Dobson, Waterford 3 Project Manager, reporting directly to R.S. Leddick, Senior Vice President - Nuclear, and includes management involvement of the plant operational staff. I will be personally and directly overseeing the program efforts.
