7'0.. *saa" Nunzio Palladino, Chairman Muclear Regulatory Comission-Matomic Building 1717 H. Street, N.W.

Washington, D.C. 20555 i

Dear Mr. Palladino:

.l Suffolk County government and its citizens are completely and unequivocally united around one idea - the Shoreham Nuclear station must be subject to a complete independent physical inspection and design review of all critical safety systems before it is given any interim or full operating license.

To this end, the Suffolk County Legislature unanimously approved and County Exacutive Peter Cohalan signed a resolution (1319) that would authorize Minor, Hubbard & Bridenbaugh Technical Associates (MHB) to choose and direct an engineering team for the purposes stated above. Both branches of county government have agreed to appropriate $3 million dollars to fund the independent inspection.

Ttroughout the past year Lilco has publicly stated that there was no need for i

an inspection. Ilowever, as a result of the overwhelming public support of the physical inspection initiative, Lilco now says that it is willing to allow an independent inspection of Shoreham's safety " features", but instead of having the County consultants.*MIB, coordinate the inspection.2 Lilco is insist-ing that they choose the inspection team. This is unacceptable because a Lilco inspection could never be an independent inspection.

i Our major concern is that Lilco does not want its Shoreham nuclear station subject to the county's independent examination, and therefore they will seek i

to lock out the county's inspection team.

If this circumstance arises, we re-quest that the NRC, in the interest of protecting public health and safety, will order Lilco to open its Shoreham doors.

'We hope the NRC will not ignore its public responsibility in assuring the safety of the shoreham nuclear station.

Dear Mr." Denton:

i On March 15, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission gave the i

Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO) thirty days to develop an independent audit program for Shoreham.

Initially, LILCO refused to submit to an independent audit' In the fall of last year, LILCO proposed a small scale audit of $150,000. An acceptable rate offered by other utilities for a minimum standard audit is $1 million.

In view of the controversy surmunding the safety and soundness of

)

Shoreham, LILCO's. actions do.not inspire confidence.

t Therefore, in the interest of both public safety and public peace of mind, an independent audit of a far greater magnitude than LILC0 has proposed s.h'ould be required for'Shoreham. To be effective, such an audit should be,on the magnitude of the multi-million dollar Diablo Canyon reactor audit. To be complete, such an audit must address

^

several crucial needs. Among them, the'need for a detailed review of Shoreham's design integrity and safety; the need for a detailed review of LILCO's quality assurance / quality contml programs; and the need for.

a penetrating review and inspection of Shoreham's critical safety l

systems.

An audit of this r.ature will best serve the public' interest and better protect the public safety. A mere surface review, on the other hand, runs counter to public interest, and igerils public safety.

Thus, I support,an upanded, more extensive and better funded dent-audit.kle Isa su rt the Suffolk-CoontyTigfilature s" r

i dndeion' fa 'fand it own phy T.al?i'hspectionF It'1s impeiatGe~th'a#

t 4 hest ac~tions necessary o the safety of all Long Islanders be taken as soon as possible.,p
