AFFIDAVIT OF JEROME H. GOLDBERG I have reviewed the January 17, 1986 Motion of CCANP to reopen the record of Phase II and the documents attached thereto, including the excerpts of the deposition of Mr. Eugene A.'Saltarelli.

In those deposition pages Mr. Saltarelli mentioned a meeting he had with me in which we discussed the desirability of an independent review of B&R design work on STP.

I recall such a meeting between Mr. Saltarelli and myself in late 1980.

This is the meeting I mentioned in my testimony of December 5, 1985 at Tr. 15534-35 and 15578.

In that meeting Mr. Saltarelli and I discussed the potential value of third party assessments of engineering work on nuclear projects.

-Mr.

Saltarelli mentioned that he had participated in such a review for NUS on an earlier project.

We then discussed the usefulness of such a review at STP and its potential benefit to both.of us in performing our respective responsibilities, 8602100318 860203 PDR ADOCK 05000498 G

+ particularly since we were both relatively new to the Project.

During the course of the meeting, I very likely mentioned to Mr. Saltarelli, as I had to others in 1980-81, that a benefit of such a design review would be that I would be better able to answer questions concerning STP engineering.if any were raised in future ASLB hearings.

The CCANP Motion asserts that the Quadrex Review and certain design review work. assigned to NUS were "part of an overall litiga-tion strategy agreed upon by HL&P and Brown & Root."

CCANP Motion at 14.

Neither the Quadrex review nor the NUS work was performed in order to prepare for the ASLB hearing; Mr. Saltarelli and I did not discuss these efforts in the context of planning a strategy for licensing litigation.

Rather, our principal focus was on our mutual professional interest in assuring the safe and successful completion of STP engineering and design.

I have read the foregoing portion of this affidavit to Mr.

Saltarelli and he generally confirms my recollection of our conversa-tion in 1980.
