the throes of writing a report. Also, that I would check to see if we had t-issued any type of report.
I checked my case summaries, questioned Fred Herr,

I called Rehm and reported the above to him. He said he was probably thinking about 01, but regardless, for your information he was going to suggest "30
/
minute closed sessions" with the Commission ahead of the July 31 Diablo Canyon licensing for the purpose of the latest update on investigations.
I told him of your interest in Grand Gulf for Friday, July 20, 1984, and unless new investigative leads were developed in Diablo Canyon 2.206, the consensus is that it would be completed by the end of July.
I discussed this with Ron Smith and he will endeavor to have a draft report by the end of next week which can be the basis for a briefing paper.

BRIEFING PAPER 10 CFR 2.206 Petitions re Diablo Canyon On April 16, 1984, Office of the General Counsel forwarded to the Office of Inspector and Auditor (01A), a Coniission Memorandum and Order dated April 13, 1984, which had attached to it an April 12, 1984, 2.206 Petition from the intervenor group, Government Accountability Project (GAP).
Within its Peti-tion, GAP called upon the Commission to have OIA investigate to determine:
(a) whether there have been misleading or riaterial false statements by the.NRC staff to the Conmission during the March 19, 26, or 27 briefings, or in Supplemental Safety Evaluation Reports SSER-21 (December 1983) or SSER-22 (March 1984); and (b) the causes of the QA breakdown within the NRC staff responsible for Diablo Canyon.
The Petition went on to outline various facts which GAP believed were in support of these two " allegations."
In its Order, the Commission noted that it had "reauested OIA to review the Petition and to take whatever actions it deems necessary."
On May 15, 1984, James Lieberman, ELD, forwarded to 01A a second GAP 2.206 Petition dated May 3, 1984, for 01A's "use as appropriate.* Within that Peti-tion, GAP repeated word for word the earlier " allegations" addressed above.
45 Prepared by Ronald M.
Smith ec. re,. 92/-2 /c n
a
l DI A is currently reviewing the GAP submissions to detemine what specific information the Petitions contain ir, support of these " allegations."
It is anticipated that Thomas Devine (signer of the two Petitions) will be inter-viewed to determine if he has provided all relevant information available to him regarding these matters.
Further interviews / investigation will then be accomplished, as appropriate.
In addition as to the second " allegation," more specific information must be forthcoming which would indicate the possibility of specific misconduct on the part of NRC employees, in contrast to GAP's apparent expression of general disappointment with NRC actions, before OIA will be in a position tc conduct an investigation as to this matter.
These impressions are preliminary only and therefore are subject to modifica-tion should new or different infomation come to light.
