Dear Mr. Eisenhut:
Subject:
PROPOSED MEETING TO DISCUSS STATUS AND FROJECT COMPLETION PLANS FOR WNP-1 AND WNP-3 As a follow-up to our telephone conversation of July 11, 1984, attached for your use is a proposed agenda for the subject meeting.
We are suggesting that this meeting take place on September 6,1984.
We vhaw this as a policy level meeting, where we will be presenting concepts < r ac;omplishing an orderly restart and completion of the proj ects.. hGud QJeht ideetings between our respective technical staffs may te necessar[y to add the details necessary to accomplish these objectives.
We anticipate that the meeting will serve a four-fold purpose as noted below:
1)
Review the proposed Supply System role for project complet!on, particularly the project management concepts consistent with that role.
2)
Summarize ongoing programs and activities at the two sites.
3)
Discuss concepts for acceptance of work, particularly cor. current inspection and acccptance of work by NRC.
1 4)
Obtain NRC feedback on items 1-3.
As you are aware, the Supply System is expecting to receive from the major contractors at each project, proposals to complete the respective projects on a fixed cost / shared risk basis.
The successful completion of the projects under these arrangements will require some l
changes in the present working relationships between the Supply System and its contractors. We will discuss these relationships const, cent with our need to retain ultimate responsibility for the quality of the completed plant.

8 Mr. D. G. Eisenhut Page Two Although the major construction activities at the two project sites have been teminated for one to two years, we have been aggressively pursuing programs which will assure us and the NRC that construction delays have not been detrimental to safe completion and operation of the plants. These programs have been reviewed with Region V personnel on an ongoing basis. We feel it important that headquarters personnel also be aware of our effort in this regard.
The study perfomed by the NRC staff in response to the Ford amendmer.t (NUREG - 1055) discusses several approaches which may be taken to assure quality construction. We have developed some proposals in this regard which we feel will be of interest to the NRC.
Restart of WNP-1 l
and WNP-3 will provide an opportunity to test these concepts.
Much has been said over the past several years of the need to stabilize the Licensing process. We view the restart of WNP-1 and WNP-3 as an opportunity to implement some of these stabilizing f actors and demonstrate that nuclear plants can be built within budget and schedule without compromising quality or safety.
ke look forward to meeting with you in the future.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (509) 372-5238.
Very truly yours,
=c !d G. C. Sorensen, Manager Regulatory Progr ms GCS/kd
