Executive
SUBJECT:
STUDY OF THE NEED FOR AN INDEPENDENT AGENCY TO INVESTIGATE INCIDENTS AT NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS I understand that you have asked various staff offices to submit their 4 comments this week on the Brookhaven National Laboratory draft report on i
the subject study. Because we just learned of the request and received
' a copy of the draft report we have not had sufficient time to study it thoroughly.
~
However, our brief review leads us to believe that the drafters of the report should consider the use of administrative judges on the Atomic 4 004 Safety and Licensing Board Panel for carrying out the administrative law 4
functions of an Office of Nuclear Safety. As the report clearly recognizes at page 153, such an office will need to have the capability .
~~fc issuing subpoenas and holding hearings to place evidence en tne l record. The panel's administrative judges would be availeble and well qualified to fill this role. We are available and would like to i participate in the development of an administrative law function. ,
