Dear Chairman Zecht I am writing to reiterate my concerns about the safety of the South Tex'as Nuclear Plant (STNP) and to request that the licensing hearing scheduled for March 21,1988, be postponed..
Since I wrote to you on February.18th expressing rry reservations about the safety of the STNP, I have had an opportunity to review the NRC Safety Assessment Team Report which was released on March 14th. While this report addresses some of the safety related allegations made by the Government Accountability' Project (GAP), the' report does not address a!! of these: allegations. Most significantly, the report does not address the allegations that workers at the plant were discouraged from reporting safety concerns during the construction of the plant and that documents were falsified. Instead, these allegations, and other allegations of harassment, intimidation, and wrongdoing, are being investigated by the NRC Office of Investigations (01). The 01 investigation has not been completed.
~
Because the allegations.of harassment, lntimidation and wrongdoing reflect adversely on the safety inspection and qua81ty assurance programs relied upon by the NRC Safety Assesssment Team, I question the propriety of proceeding with the licensing of the STNP at this time. Until the 01 investigation is complete, serieus questions
'1 remain about the safety of the STNP; Again, I urge the NRC to delay the licensing of the plant until all safety concerns have been addressed.i
~
Witn all good wishes,I remain ncerely yo s,
