March 23,1984 SECY-84-130 (Information)
For:
The Comissioners' From:
William J. Dircks Executive Director for Operations
Subject:
DIABLO CANYON ALLEGATIONS REVIEU
Purpose:
To advise of Government Accountability Project (GAP) change of position regarding Staff interviews of allegers.
Background:
As centioned at the Staff's briefing of the Comissicn on March 19, 1984, Staff had agreed to GAP counsel's request for a face-to-face meeting in San Luis Obispo on the evening of March 19, 1984 to discuss allegations of false statements in recent submittals by.PGAE.
Staff from Region V traveled to the site in preparation for the 7:00 p.m. scheduled meeting, only to learn at approximately 6:a0 p.m. that GAP counsel would not pemit the meeting to occur. Counsel for GAP telephonically advised OI staff at the scheduled meeting that, in his words, he had been " stabbed in the back" and " betrayed." GAP cour.sel reportedly stated he felt staff had failed to fulfill a cor,rnit-ment not to draw any conclusions or make any recoranendations concerning resolution of the allegations pending completion of all interviews and receipt of all information from the allegers.
By that conversation and a subsequent telephone conversation of March 20,1984, with OI staff, GAP counsel laid down three conditions for staff interview of GAP clients-allegers:
(1) that an individual's attendance be compelled by full and
~
detailed subpoena covering the individual and any documentary material; (2) that such interviews be transcribed by a court reporter; and, (3) that GAP counsel have*,the right to cross-examine and challenge all information furnished by the licensee to the NRC in response to such allegations.

.,_1 Unrelated to the above, the Staff, at the March 19 Commission raeeting, agreed to issue the final Inspection Report on the NSC Audit of Pullman, dated February 29, 1984, as a Board Notification. Upon review of the records in this proceeding, we have determined that, under cover of a memorandum from the Office of the Secretary, Docketing and Services Branch dated March 8,1984, a copy of the final Inspection Report and related documents were sent to the par:ies and to the Appeal Board. Accordingly, a fonr.a1 Board Notification does not appear to be necessary.
