Dear Mr.-Berlinger:
The. adequacy-of emergency. diesel generators manu-factured by Transamerica Delaval Inc. ('IDI) ' is central to l
whether a dozen'or so power plants will be granted operating licenses, and when.
As you know, the TDI issue has been raised 2.ua sponte by some Licensing Boards, and-as a contention.in other proceedings.
Earlier in.the year, much of.the information concerning the-development of the TDI l
issue, in particular the work of the TDI Owners' Group, was supplied.to proceeding. participants..These materials in-cluded meeting notices, meeting transcripts and correspon-1dence between the--Owners' Group and-the NRC Staff.
They were submitted as-though they were Board Notifications al-
,though they-were not formally identified as such.
Presuma-bly this'information was provided in keeping with the Staff's legal responsibility.to keep Licensing Boards'and parties. informed of developments which might bear upon par-ticular plants.
t
'In the last two months,'although the' Owners' Group meetings have continued, and the first Owners' Group reports have been-issued, these " Board Notifications' have._almost entirely ceased.
As afresult, parties to proceedings, and the Licensing Boards themselves, are no longer:being kept apprised of theLatatus of this important issue.
On behalf-of the many intervenors'who-have raised this issue, and the i
Coalition for Safe Power which I represent in the WPPSS No.
l 1 operating license proceeding, I would like to know:
1.
Why the-Staff stopped _providing documents on the TDI
. issue to the Licensing Boards and parties.of-.affected pro-j.
~ ceedings; l
- 2. What documents have-not been sent to Licensing Boards and l-
' parties which-bear upon the resolution-or litigation of the LTDI issue; and I
