4 June 10,1996 Memorandum For: Commissioner Dicus From: Anthony W. Markley

Subject:

COURTESY VISIT BY NORTHEAST UTILITIES,lNC. -

i BERNARD M. FOX, PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE l OFFICER Discussion:

You will be visiting with Mr. Bernard M. Fox, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ted Feigenbaum, Executive Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer, Northeast Utilities, Inc. and Mr. Bob Bush, President, Energy Resources Group, Northeast Utilities, Inc. at 1:00 PM on Tuesday, June 11,1996. Their resumes are in the briefing package.

The resume of Elizabeth T. Kennan was also attached to the resumes faxed. She is 1

on the board of directors. It appeared as though she would also be attending.

Northeast Utilities operates four nuclear sites, Millstone Point Unit 1 (BWR-3),2 (CE-PWR), and 3 (W-PWR), and Hadam Neck (W-PWR). The Millstone units are currently shutdown associated with NRC request due to licensing, technical, and management concerns. The Hadam Neck unit is still operating. The conccrns at the Hadam Neck facility do not appear as pernicious as those at Millstone Point.

i Focus of Visit:

Introductions and Discussion of Millstone Point and Hadam Neck issues.

Potential NRC Topics of Interest

I

  • Management breakdown of safety culture at Millstone

, > Failures to resolve equipment and engineering problems

  • Failure of Plant Review Board (safety review board)
  • Licensing program breakdowns at Northeast Utilities
  • Harassment and intimidation issues 3
  • Get Well Proaram i

(Note:'5 rom an ongoing enforcement perspective, you may only be able to discuss

'some issues in very generic terms. It will be interesting to elicit their perspective on the problems and to discern their level of concerns for making substantive improvements.)
