l TEXAS UTILITIES ELECTRIC )

COMPANY, et al. ) Docket No. 50-445-OL-2

) 50-446-OL-2 (Comanche Peak Steam Electric )

Station, Units 1 and 2) ) September 17, 1984 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER (Directing Release of OI Reports)

On August 28, 1984, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Staff (Staff) issued Board Notification 84-149 listing Office of Investigation (OI) reports as important documents related to Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station not previously submitted to this Board. The Staff indicated its intent to transmit to the Board for review in camera ex parte any reports the Board deems ,

! pertinent to this proceeding. By this Order, the Board directs OI to release to the Board and parties (under protective agreement) all OI reports listed in Board Notification 84-149. ,

N Board Notification 84-149 lists 22 OI reports on Comanche-Peak which have not previously been released to this Board. See Board Notification 84-149 at Enclosure 1. Wi hout reviewing the text of these reports, the Board cannot make an intelligent evaluation of their relevance to issues pending before it and cannot decide whether the record in this proceeding is adequately -

b L AD! -

lb Y 1, v , e v ,

2-developed and can be closed. Based upon a review of the subject of the . reports as listed by the Staff, we find all of these reports to be potentially relevant to matters pending before the Board. Therefore, we direct OI to release under protective agreement copies of all 22 reports to the Board and parties for review.

The Board will not review these reports ex, parte as suggested by the NRC Staff, unless ordered to do so by the Commission. 17ue Applicants have in the past objected to such review by the Board of OI reports.1 The Board agrees that e x,

~

parte review of investigation reports could be prejudicial to the rights of the Applicants and other parties. Ex parte information in the context of this formal adjudication would violate fundamental principles of administrative due. process.2 Eje parte contacts between interested parties and agency decision makers have consistently been held to be improper in administrative proceedings. See, e.g., Sangamon Vallev Television Corp. v. United States, 269 F.2d 221 (D.C. Cir. 1959).

Secret exchanges of information are inconsistent with reasoned decision making based upon a public record. Home Box Of fice ,

Inc. v. FCC, 567 F.2d 9, 54-56 (D.C.-Cir. 1977). The problem is exacerbated in a situation such as this where a formal.

1 See " Applicants' Motion to obtain Access to Information Regarding Investigations-at Comanche Peak or for Alternative Relief" (May 10, 1984).

2 See our May 17, 1984, Memorandum and Order (Secret -

Uommu.nications from Office of Investigations).

l adjudicatory hearing is underway. National Small Shipments Traffic Conference, Inc., v. ICC, 590 F.2d 345, 350 (D.C. Cir.

i 1978). The hearing requirement of the Atomic Energy Act and due process mandate that all parties be afforded a full, fair, expeditious, and open hearing.

Where OI reports have been prepared and made available to

this Licensing Board, they must also be made available to all 7 parties. Ex ca rte , extra-judicial information will not be relied i

upon in any manner by the Board. To do so would reduce the hearing to something less than the adversary proceeding required I by the Atomic Energy Act. Fur.Jamental prir . iples of fairness require that. all parties be aware of the content of information 2

presented to the Board, be given the opportunity to test its reliability or truthfulness, and be given the opportunity to 4

present rebuttal testimony if deemed necessary. Green v. McElroy i

360 U.S. 474, 495-496 (1959).

~

Ex parte communications are no less troublesome because thEy ,

,come to the Board from the agency staff, in this case OI. See 10 C.F.R. $ 2.780; see also United States v. B&O Southwestern Railraod Co., et al., 226 U.S. 14, 20 (1912). If OI alone is given the opportunity to present ex parte information which may form a basis for the Board's ultimate decision, the Board's independence would be lost.

1 The Commission has issued a policy Statement to provide i

guidance to Licensing Boards and the Staff for cases in which pending investigations are related to matters in controversy and -

i .

+ e:

. there is a conflict between the need for disclosure to the Board and parties and the need to protect an inspection or investigation.3 The Commission suggests that in cases where unrestricted disclo'sure of information concerning the _

' investigation could compromise the investigation, the Staff should provide information to the Board ex parte in camera. Id.

at 36,033-34. However, the Commission has emphasized that "As a general rule [it] favors full disclosure to the boards and parties . . . . and that its Folicy Statement does not abrogate the well-established principle of administrative law that a licensing board may not use ex parte information presented in camera in making its decision. Id. at 36,033.

The Board believes that a protective order could be used in

~ order to avoid the need for ex parte examination while providing some assurance that necessary confidentiality is not compromised.

Through such protective agreements, all parties to NRC proceedings have been given access to such sensitive informatio -

as the security plans for power reactors, when issues have been raised in connection with those plans. Pacific Gas & Electric Co. (Diablo Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2), CLI-80-24,- 11 ,

NRC 775 (1980). There is little reason to believe that the information here is more important than security plans that have ..

been previously disclosed.

3 " Statement of Policyr Investigations, Inspections and Adjudicatory Proceedings," 49 Fed. Reg. 36032 (September 13, 1984).

i* '

] . In this case, the parties have vigorously litigated issues which may well be the subject of the OI investigations, and they are entitled to a prompt decision by this Board on those issues.

Applicants are coming close to the date on which they will be

! ready to load fuel. For this proceeding to be held in abeyance because another arm of the agency is unwilling to share what could be relevant information is fundamentally unfair to the parties and makes it difficult for this Board to do its job.

Accordingly, the Board believes that the rights of the parties to f

a fair hearing on issues relating to intimidation could be prejudiced wit. tout disclosure of the reports to the parties as well as the Boa -d. We are therefore direc*.ing that the 22

, enumerated OI reports be released under a protective agreement to the parties in this proceeding.

It is so ORDERED.
