cFFICE OF THE November 28, 1984 COMMISSIONER MEMORANDUM FOR:
Samuel J. Chilk, SECY FROM:
ohn H. Austin, OCit
SUBJECT:
SECY-84-434 - Options for San Onofre 1 Comissioner Asselstine requests that you amend the staff requirements memorandum dated November 21, 1984, on the above subject to include his views which follow.
Commissioner Asselstine's views:
I do ret support the Comission decision to allew San Onofre 1 to return to service at this time.
I am in essential agreement with the points raised in the November 5, 1984 Memorerdum from the Office of the General Counsel regarding San Onofre 1 restart. Specifically, I believe that the changes to the operation and design of the plant that were included in NRC's confirmatory order of August 11, 1982 were so substantial that they must be considered an amendment to the license. Therefore, the subsequent order relaxing those changes must also be considered a license amendment.
In addition, I am troublec' ty the Comission's reliance on the economic impact on the licensee of the California Public Utilities Comission's ruling as the basis for relaxing the safety requirements called for by the August 1982 confirmatory order.
I believe that in the context of this case, reliance on such economic impacts to relax safety requirements is inappropriate.
Finally, I am concerned about the reductiers in the margin of safety for this plant that are involved in the relaxation of the August 1982 order, cc: Chairman Palladino Comissioner Roberts Comissioner Bernthal Conunissioner Zech OGC gg618g7850326 BELL 84-885 PDR d/f
