Dear Mr. Bryan:

In December 1985, we wrote to you and other former Metropolitan l Edison employees at THI-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, participation 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 VI(B) a copy of. an interview of you by NRC representatives dated 4/09/84 and an interview with a Stier representative dated 4/27/84 indicating that you have personal knowledge of facts relevant to this inquiry. A copy of that interview and 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 as a witness in the inquiry is necessary. A subpoena requiring your appearance at a September 1986 hearing is enclosed. You will be asked questions about the matters discussed in your interview and related matters, and given an opportunity to present your recollection of 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.

The hearing is scheduled to begin on September 8, 1986. The Board expects to hear your testimony around September 30, 1986 or shortly thereafter. An exact date can be scheduled as that time approaches.

The NRC will pay reasonable expenses for travel, lodging and meals associated with your appearance as a witness. In addition, federal regulations authorize a witness fee of $30 per day.
