l The staff's fonnal positions on the Comanche Peak facility are nearing completion. The ASLB Hearings, which have been in progress for three years and are expected to resume in February 1985, have resolved all contentions except Contention No. 5. This contention concerns the Applicants' i adherence to QA/QC requirements and is provided as Enclosure 1. The issue of construction OA/QC at Comanche Peak is multi-faceted and is addressed, in part, by many records, documents and in testimony from various sources including the Staff, Applicants, Intervenors, and A11egers. The background of this contention and associated records span several years. Various NRC ;
offices have been involved, including Region IV, 01, NRR, OELD and IE. :
I' To properly evaluate this contention and to prepare a comprehensive staff position, I am directing the fonnation of a panel composed of senior managers drawn from your offices. This panel is to be composed of the following .$
individuals:
EdwardJordan.IE(Chairperson)
Richard Vollmer, NRR Alan Herdt, R-II Robert Warnick, R-III ;
Roger Fortuna, 01 Because of their previous association with Comanche Peak regulatory l activities, I am appointing the following advisors to the panel: .j
!i Joe Scinto, OELD Vince Noonan, NRR Thomas Ippolito, AE00 James Gagliardo, IE Brooks Griffin, OI Dorvin Hunter, R-IV Bruce Kaplan, EG8G The advisors may occasionally be asked to assist the panel when issues involving their specific area of expertise are being considered, and I reouest your support in making them available on an "as-needed basis.

Those on Attached List The product of the Panel's effort will be a report similar to a $$ER, that states clear staff conclusions regarding this Contention. Enclosure 2 provides the outline of a Charter for this Panel. As the first order of ,
business, the Panel will develop a working Charter which shall be submitted for my approval.
The scheduled completion of the Panel's action is January 31, 1985. I expect the Panel to establish its own schedule, consistent with the resumption of the hearing process. Enclosure 3 provides a proposed milestone sumary.
The Panel will work under the direction of Vincent S. Noonan, Director of Comanche Peak Project, and should provide periodic status briefings to the Director of Licensing.
