In the meantime, time being of the essence, the Nuclear Energy Advisory Council (NFAC) approved a subcommittee at our November 7 meeting which will assess the ' independence' aspect of the Independent Corrective Action Verification Program. The subcommittee will assess both the independence of the selection process as perfbrmed by Northeast Utilities (NU) and that of the seldcted contractor. A report will then by submitted to the NEAC with copics to NU and the NRC.
i The NEAC has been informed regarding the October 24th order issued by the OfTice of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, ' REQUIRING INDEPENDENT, TIIIRD-PARTY OVERSIGHT OF NORTHEAST NUCLEAR ENERGY COMPANY'S IMPLEMENTATION OF RESOLUTION OF MILLSTONE STATION EMPLOYEES' SAFETY CONCERNS.' With the
' approval of our council members, we respectfully request that the NEAC be included with the NRC and the Licensee as a party to which the independent third-party,eports on at least a quarterly basis, the results ofits oversight activities, including all findings q
and recommendations (IV.2). This is an important component in enabling us to carry out our statutory charge to advise the Governo'r, the General Assembly and the municipalities within a five-mile radius of any nuclear power generating facility in Connecticut ofissues relating to its safety and operation.
g We thank you and your staff for the assistance which you have given us in order to support the NEAC in our endeavors, and we await your, response to these matters.
