THREE MILE ISLAND ALERT'S SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO LICENSEE'S THIRD SET OF INTERROGATORIES AND THIRD REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION (DIECKAMP MAILGRAM)
Interrogatory No. 19 TMIA currently intends to call as witness in this proceeding Victor Gilinsky, former Commissioner of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC").
Dr. Gilinsky was the senior NRC commissioner at the time of-the TMI-2 Accident. He participated in the May 7, 1979 site visit by the Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs of the House of Representatives. During this site visit he spoke to Mr.
Dieckamp about the pressure spike and reporting of the pressure spike to.the Commission. This site visit became the subject of the New York Times article of May 8, 1979, which prompted the"Dieckamp mailgram". Dr. Gilinsky also was an addressee of the Dieckamp mailgram.

- TMIA proposes to offer Dr. Gilinsky's testimony for the following purposes:
- 1).. Dr. :Gilinsky's conversation 'with Mr. Dieckamp on May 7,.1979'and, in his role as Commissioner, communications with,xthe licensee'during the accident and.its aftermath,.is m
relevanti and probative' evidence concerning Mr. Dieckamp's state of mind at the. time of sending the mailgram and his purpose in sending lthe mailgram to Congressman Udall and Commissioner-Gilinsky.
2)'. Dr. Gilinsky, as an addressee of the mailgram and.from his communications :directly with Mr. Dieckamp and the licensee, can testify
-on his understanding of the relevant portions of the mailgram.
'3). Dr. Gilinsky, as the' senior commissioner at the time of the
. accident, can. testify a$ to the information the Commission relied on in making its decisions regarding.the accident, and the information the licensee was obligated to report to the Commission in order to permit the Commission to make its decisions.
Mr. Dieckamp, if he did not know at the time of s,ending
~
the mailgram that it contained inaccurate statements, should have known of'the inaccurate statements since he should have made the inquiries necessary to assure the accuracy of all infor-mation he included in the mailgram.
The Commission's expecta-tions-and regulations regarding licensee's reporting of information to the NRC, which were communicated to the licensee, are probative of Mr. Dieckamp's understanding of his obligations to report information about the pressure spike, the actuation of
y
=
, containment sprays, hydrogen generation or burn,in-core thermo-couple temperature readings, and core damage, to the C6mmission.
It is also probative of-.Mr. Dieckamp's responsibilitiy-to ensure the accuracy of any information on such matters when reported to
.the Commission, Congress or the public.
