Docket No. 50-329
Docket No. 50-330
Consumers Power Company
ATIN:
Mr. James W. Cook
Vice President
Midland Project
1945 West Parnall Road
Jackson, MI 49201
Gentlemen:
This refers to the management meeting held by me and other NRC representa-
tives with you and other representatives of Consumers Power Company in
Jackson, Michigan, on April 26 and June 21, 1982, to review the results of
the NRC's evaluation of the utility's regulatory performance at the Midland
Nuclear Plant in connection with NRC Manual Chapter 0516 - Systematic
Assessment of Licenseee Performance (SALP) and covers the period July 1,
1980 through June 30, 1982.
A preliminary copy of the SALP Report was provided to you in advance of
our meeting. This report is enclosed, along with the written comments
you provided on May 17, 1962.
Your May. 17, 1982, response to the SALP Report took issue with a number
of findings and evaluations presented by the SALP Board. As discussed
at the June 21 meeting, the NRC representatives were not pursuaded by
the arguements presented and it is apparent that NRC and Consumers Power
,
Company management have dif fering views as to the f acts surrounding
several identified concerns.
I intend to contact you in the near future
to arrange one or more " walking" meetings between our staf fs in an attempt
to clarify the disputed issues. Following completion of that effort I
will give you my overall observations and assessment of the utility's
performance during the appraisal period along with comments I believe are
appropriate relative to ycur May 17 letter.
