I told Mr. Bartnoff that we were very concerned about the status of their QA Program for the Operations phase, and that this concern was highlighted by a number of events that occurred since our lost meeting with him on the general subject of the management of the Oyster Creek Plant. I gave him specifics that included results of our environ-mental inspet ions, the shock suppressor problem, the loss of off-site power problem, and other observations by our inspectors. I indicuted to Mr. Bartnoff that, based on the results of our lost meeting, that we expected to see a step change in the stoffing and competence in the support for the Oyster Creek Focility. I indicated that this had not been observed (i.e., the step change). l told him that these matters should receive his personal attention because the level of concern by Regulatory has increased over

Mr. Bortnoff stated that they had a serious concern,and that they had been actively involved 'n recruiting and had made major changes in their solory structure to accommodate recruiting.

Upon completing the the, conversation with Mr. Bartnoff, I colled Mr. Coombs, President, GPU. ' The oreo of concern related to Mr. Coombswas on the subject of Stoffing. I indicated the types of problems they had, tiie level of concern we had reached at the Oyster Creek Plant, and asked him to review the level of support provided Oyster Creek by GPU.
