2 A It looks like it says 3/29/79 question mark and belou 3 it 3/30.

4 0 Chay. Thor 's an underlining between TCD called 5 3/29 and the 3/30; is that rect?

6 A That's correct.  !

7 Q l'ou, having reviewed that, can lo indicate whether 8 you're familiar with any of the information the hich follous? i 9 I:R. BLAKE: Could you repeat that? .

10 2; :r. 7:r _rr:-

11 0 Yes. I uill rephrase the question. I.ro you fa-iliar 12 vith any of the information which follows the nctation 3/29/79 13 or 3/307 Do you understand chec the notes arc indicating?

14 A There's quito a bit of this information that seems -

15 familiar and the type of information that I would have known f 16 from 3/29 or 3/30, for examplo, a Sonator's briefing, but I 17 don't remember if that was on the 29th or 30th.

18 0 I represent to you that was on 3/29.

j 19 A All right.

20 0 You have revicued the rest of it. I'm going to ask you 21 if any of that infomation, to your knowledge, was information 22 that you transmitted to Mr. Keaton starting uith ::crch 29th?

23 A Ucll, I don't recall in detail Uhat we talked about,

~

24 but it would have been this type of information, and I would 25 have been bringing him up to date on uhat uc had learned. I

, = I l

don't see anything in here that looks inconsistent tiith what l

2 I thought I knew at that time, and that includes all the way 3

down through the entries to 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. which talks about i 4

I starting pumps. -

0 Q That uould be the first two pages of what I have l i 6

handed you, is that correct, the first tuo pages after 3/29?

7 That's correct.

11 It's the page that has the date on it i

! 8 and the page that follous it.

4 9 Q There again, I'm trying to get your best information or 10 comory on what you gave hin on I* arch 29th.

11 Is night . 1 ou, if ue go to the no::t page uhore it talks 12 about present status, there arc things in that entry t'hich I do 13 not recognize as having understood on 3/29.

14 7 7,e ..h:t are thecc thingc?

l 15

\ .

e For example, there 's a discussion here about an l 16 explosion ' the containment, some specific numbers about what f

17 looks to be the olume of non-condensibles in the primary. I 18 don't believe that t e were any calculations which had been 19 made early on 3/29 uhich w id have had this information in it.

20 I think the first calculations n 'c like that were en the '

21 morning of the 30th. So I'm not sure xactly where the 3/29 l 22 information stops.and uhcre the 3/30 info ..m* ion starts.

23 Q And there is no apparent stopping point the notes; 31 is that f air to say?

2 I*n. BLAI*E: I think you must have some other purpose 3 in min as to such a question, and I regard it as inappropriate..

.S. BERITABEI: Let me state our position on the record.!

5 This does ha to do with the analysis being done of the t 6

accident on IIar 5 28th and the information that was communicated 7 to management and tside the site generally. It also has to 8

\

do eith evaluation of he information that can available.

! 9 I:P . BLAKE: The ,uestion, as I recall it, was a 1

10 hypothetical about reporting to the NRC--

l l 11 r.*S . Benz:ABEI: That's rrect.

12 I:R. DIAKE: --which the r ord will reflect. I can't 13 square that uith the stated purpose.

14 MS. BEnUABEI: It has to do wi an evaluation of the i

l 15 seriousness of the accident and what uas rep rted to management.,

i 16 MR. BLAKE: The question did not have o do uith l 4

17 management.

18 gS. BEPl!ABCI: I'm not going to argue uith y , I*r .

( 1 you would report to the Unc?

2 A I would not have done that directly, j 3 Q lion would you have done that, sir?

4 A I again uould have reported it I guess on the 28th or 5 early on the 29th through 11r. Keaton, and then when ::r. Wilson 6 came out with a more formal organization to deal eith this, I 7 believe he was the proper contact then.

16 A I'm not sure in uha contcy.t you're using repre.tauri-17 zation. There were times uhen p ssure was adjusted upward and 18 donnuard during the day.

19 0 I'm talking in the sense that cro's been a general 20 description of the strategics employed to b ng the reactor to 21 a stable condition during the day, and there ha been testimony 22 generally that at-a certain point in the early morn .g there U was a repressurization, an attempt to repressurize.
