Lbject: COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST INVESTIGATION OF UTILITY AND NRC
The Monroe County Board of Comissioners decided on August 6,1985, to request
Conaressman John Dingell to conduct a full investigation of the operational procedures
nd the credentials of employees perfoming operations at the Fermi 2 plant. The
- request will also include a full investigation of whether NRC representatives at the
site were responsible for the withholding of infomation from the Comission and the
public.
The request stems from the July 2, 1985 unplanned criticality which was not
reported to the Region III office until July 15, 1985.
(Reference PNO-III-85-58). The
fomal request has not yet been made in writing.
The Office of Investigations is currently conducting an investigation into the
timeliness of reporting and the circumstances related to the event. Mr. Keppler,
Reaional Administrator, contacted the Chaiman of the Board of Comissioners
-
to infom him of the ongoing investigation and inspection activities
and offered to brief the Commission on the event. The Comission will
consider this offer.
The plant is currently in cold shutdown while completing several corrective actions to
minimize operational errors, and to perfom maintenance.
The State of Michigan will be infomed.
The utility was infomed of the Board of Comissioners' decision late on August 6, and
they in turn, informed the Senior Resident Inspector early on August 7,1985.
