'1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of employing an independent reviewer for the independent Corrective Action Program (ICAVP) is to obtain an unbiased assessment of the Millstone Unit 3 configuration management and corrective action programs. Therefore, every reasonable effort will be made to assure that the observations and conclusions made are the result of the Project Team's own independent assessment and not influenced or biased by representations of other parties such as the Northeast Utilities (NU) line organization or their l contractors responsible for subjects under review. To maintain this assuranc' of independence, this formal protocol has been established and will be implemented to control the communications between S&L, NU, and the rdRC.
This protocol has been written so that the Project Team reviewers remain objective and unbiased, yet will permit the legitimate need for the Project Team to communicate with the NU organization to obtain information including any necessary verbal clarification to maintain an efficient process. It is, however, the responsibility of the independent reviewers to assure that these O guidelines are implemented in a manner which assures the objectivity and independence of the review.
Sargent & Lundy Project Team internal communications are unaffected by the requirements of this protocol, including those between or among the Verification Team, the Internal Review Committee and the Quality Assurance Division.
2.0 ORGANIZATIONAL-POINTS OF CONTACT The Nuclear Energy Advisory Council (NEAC) is an organization created by the Connecticut State Legislature to monitor activities related to Millstone.
The NEAC and the NRC have established a memorandum of understanding that permits the NEAC to participate and/or observe the NRC's oversight activities for the ICAVP. As such, the NEAC will be included in the communications protocol and will be provided with documents, notifications, and opportunities to participate in the overs!ght of S&L activities.
Each of the organizations involved in the ICAVP (NRC, NU, and S&L) has provided a primary and backup point of contact. These points of contact are the personnel through which inter-organizational communications will occur or be arranged. This includes both verbal and written communications, including electronic mail.

! 3.0 RULES FOR VARIOUS TYPES OF COMMUNICATIONS h
! There are a variety of types of communications necessary to effectively l- implement the ICAVP. The following identifies the various types of inter-organizational communications required and defines the rules governing those types of communications. These rules address aspects such as who initiates ;
the communication, whether notification of other parties is given, who may participate in the communication, whether public access is to be given, and the documentation requirements for the communication and to whom it is provided. Other communication between personnel in these project j
organizations or their contractors should be avoided during the performance of the ICAVP.
3.1 Request for information - S&L will need significant amounts of .)
documents and drawings from NU to commence and proceed with the i review. The information request process from S&L to the NU organization will be a frequent occurrence during the ICAVP.
The S&L Verification Team Manager, or one of the Review Leads, will O- submit all requests for information to the NU primary contact in writing. 1 This may be via fax, e-mail or ovemight mail. Each request shall be on a standard form developed for this purpose and shall be provided !
with a sequential number for tracking (See Attachment 5.1). A copy of l each request for information shall be provided to the NRC's primary contact. NU's response to the requests shall be submitted in duplicate ,
to the S&L primary contact, one copy to Chicago and one copy the I office space provided by NU to S&L near the Millstone station. NU shall provide an index of all documents submitted, including a revision number or identifying date.
In order to ascertain the availability of information or to identify the appropriate documents containing required information, the S&L Verification Team Manager or one of the Review Leads may contact the NU primary contact or a designated Document Control personnell via phone. This type of informal contact shall only be made in the process of preparing and submitting a request for information.
There may occasionally be a need for S&L to discuss administrative issues with NU, such as arrangements for access training and badging of personnel, arrangements for access to NU computer databases, and issues related to the local office facility. This type of I

3.6 Formal Meetings or Briefings - It is expected that there will be formal meetings with the various participants and the public to discuss the 3 results of the program.
l l Formal meetings to discuss the results of the ICAVP and periodic

Copies of all O presentation material will be available at the public meetings and will be posted to the Web Site.
3.6 Press and/or Media Communications - Based on the current level of public interest in the ICAVP and Millstone in general, there is expected to be press and media interest in the work of the ICAVP Contractor.
Communications with the press and media and notification of the NRC and NU of such interest are included in this protocol.
Requests for interviews with the press or media shall be referred to the Project Director or the Verification Team Manager. One of them shall notify the NU and the NRC primary contact of the request. The '
Director or Manager shall respond appropriately to the press or media requests.
3.7 Communications related to NRC oversight of S&L - S&L's activities l in the ICAVP are considered an extension of the NRC As such, communication between S&L and the NRC will be required, both related to the execution of the review and to the NRC's oversight of S&L's l performance.
