Dear Mr. Seelinger:
In December 1985, we wrote to you and other fonner Metropolitan Edison employees at TMI-2 concerning an inquiry to be conducted by this Board into responsibility for leak rate test data falsifications at TMI-2 in 1978-79. As we noted in our letter, parthipation in the inquiry as a party is voluntary. We also noted, however, that "should you decide not to participate as a party, you may nevertheless be subpoenaed as a witness."
You did not intervene in the inquiry as a party. The Board recently received into the record of this inquiry a Report prepared by Edwin H. Stier entitled "TMI-2 Reactor Coolant Inventory Balance Testing." The Report includes in Volume I (at pp. 139-144) a discussion of your involvement in an LER concerning leak rate testing and in Volume VI(J) an interview of you by NRC representatives dated 4/4/84. Copies of these documents are enclosed. These documents show that you have personal knowledge of facts relevant to this inquiry. Copies of portions of two recent NRC reports on the same subject are also enclosed. Should you wish access to or copies of other materials involved in the inquiry, please contact the Board.
In these circumstances, the Board has decided that your appearance l
as a witness in the inquiry is necessary. A subpoena requiring your l
appearance at a September 1986 hearing is enclosed. You will be asked questions about the matters discussed in your interview and related l
matters, and given an opportunity to present your recollection of l
events. You are entitled to consult and appear before the Board with an attorney. If you wish, you may file written testimony with the Board by September 8,1986, but you still must appear as a witness.
j The hearing is scheduled to begin on September 8,1986. The Board expects to hear your testimony around September 30, 1986 or shortly i
thereafter. An exact date can be scheduled as that time approaches.

Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and provide us with a telephone number where you may be reached.
