ryoGP i I P.O. Box 88 l Peaks Island, ME 04108 i January 22, 1997 4 Hon. Shirley Jackson Chairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 205550-0001

Dear Chairman Jackson:

In order that persons having an interest in the matter of Maine i Yankee be adequately informed as to the state of the plant's compliance with Commission regulations, it is necessary that the following infor-mation be available prior to February 4

A list enumerating noncomplying conditions at Maine Yankee and regulatory requirement (s) violated as a result of each such noncomplying condition.

A list of outstanding maintenance items and incomplete correc-t.ive actions and the dates on which each such maintenance item and need for corrective action was identified.

A listing of particulars with respect to which the Maine Yankee licensee has failed to demonstrate compliance with requirements based on TMI Action Plan Items II.K.3.30 and II.K.3.31.

The Commission's. position (and basis for same) with respect to whether the Maine Yankee Operating License will need to be amended should the Entergy Company assume responsibility for operating the plant, j The Commission's rationale for permitting Maine Yankee to operate in circumstances where neither the licensee nor cogni-zant NRC officials are able and willing to affirm that the s plant is in substantial compliance with Commission regulations. '

(The Commission's failure to address this item, raised repeat-edly, serves to undermine the Commission's credibility in the l community of persons having an interest in nuclear regulation.) '

The Commissioners require the information specified above if there ,

is to be informed discussion of Maine Yankee on February 4 and in  !

related meetings that address current Maine Yankee issues; therefore,  !

making this information public prior to February 4 will not constitute an undue administrative burden. j i

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincere ,

Henry R. My r c: Commissioner Kenneth Rogers Commissioner Greta Dicus Commissioner Nils Diaz Commissioner Edward McGaffigan h
