- 20555,
Dear Mr. Dircks:
Eariler this
- week, you requested the names and affiliations of the present members of the Board of Directors of General Public Utilities Corporation ("GPU") and of GPU Nuclear Corpcration and corresponding data at March 28, 1979, and the method of election of directors of GPU and GPU Nuclear Corporation.
The GPU Board of Directors is elected annually by the GPU shareholders at the Annual Meeting held in May.
Any vacancy in the Board between Annual Meetings is filled by the Board for the period intervening between the date of such election and the next Annual Meeting.
The present GPU Board of Directors consists of eight outside directors and two inside directors, Messrs.
W.
G.
- Kuhns, GPU Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and H.
M.
Dieckamp, GPU 8607220213 831125 COMMS NRCC PDR CORRESPONDENCE PDR
Mr. William J.
Dircks November 18, 1983 Page President and Chief Operating Officer.
With the exception of Dr.
Patricia K.
Woolf, who was elected to the Board on August 4,
- 1983, all of the present directors were elected at the May 1983 Annual Meeting.
I enclose an excerpt from the GPU Proxy Statement for the May 1983 Annual Meeting which sets forth the affiliations of each of the directors who were elected at that 1983 Annual Meeting.
Dr.
Woolf, Visiting Research Sociologist at Princeton University, holds a M.S.
from the University of Washington in Chemistry and a Ph.D.
from Johns Hopkins Unversity in Scientific Communications.
She is a member of the National News Council and a member of the Board of Directors of Cordis Corporation of Miami, Florida.
The GPU Board of Directors in office on March 28, 1979, consisted of ten directors, of whom five (namely, Messrs. Appell, Burditt, Dieckamp, Kuhns and Roedel) are presently GPU directors and five other outside directors, identified below, who resigned in the interim either by reason of GPU's Directors' Retirement Policy or because their other commitments made it impossible for them to continue to devote to GPU the time required for service as GPU directors.
The five who resigned, and their principal affiliations were:
Name Affiliation Val B. Diehl..
..... President, Nabisco Barbara Barnes Hauptfuhrer.. Director, The Vanguard Group of Investment Companies, the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tha Company, Incorporated, J. Walter Thampson Company; and Trustee Philadelphia Savings Fund Society Warren J. Hayford...... President, International Harvester Company George H. Lanier....... Chairman, Mt.

Page GPU Nuclear Corporation is a direct subsidiary of GPU which became operational January 1, 1982.
It was organized for the purpose of centralizing in a single organization responsibility for the safe operation, maintenance, rehabilitation, design, construction, start-up and testing of the GPU System nuclear plants.
The Board of Directors of GPU Nuclear is elected by GPU and consists of nine full-time GPU System officers, whose names and principal GPU System responsibilities are as follows:
Name Title R. C. Arnold... President, GPU Nuclear Corporation S. Bartnoff
... Vice President, Operations, GPU Service Corporation B. H. Cherry... Vice President, Corporate Planning, GPU Service Corporation P. H. Clark... Executive Vice President, GPU Nuclear Corporation H. M. Dieckamp.. President, GPU and Chairman, GPU Nuclear Corporation W. G. Kuhns
... Chairman, GPU J. R. Leva.... President, Pennsylvania Electric Company F. J. Smith
... President, Metropol,itan Edison Company W. A. Verrochi.. President, Jersey Central Power & Light company There has been no change in the membership of the Board of Directors of GPU Nuclear Corporation since it became operational.
On August 8, 1980, Amendment No. 20 to the TMI-l Restart Report was submitted to the NRC.
That Amendment described the plan to establish GPU Nuclear Corporation and to have GPU Nuclear Corporation replace the GPU Nuclear Group described in Supplement 1 to NUREG-0680 (November 8,
1980).
It was there pointed out that that change would have little or no effect upon the organizational structure and assignment of personnel already reflected in the creation of the GPU Nuclear Group, but that it did require prior approval of the State public service commissions and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and changes in the licensing of the GPU System nuclear plants.
The amendment of the technical specifications to provide for the GPU Nuclear Group was authorized by the NRC in 1980.
In 1981, the required approvals of State
Mr. William J. Dircks November 18, 1983 Page public service commissions and the SEC for the formation and proposed operation of GPU Nuclear Corporation were ootained and the changes in licensing of the nuclear plants to provide for operation by GPU Nuclear Corporation effective as of January 1,
1982 were made.
The NRC, by an order, dated August 13, 1981 had previously directed that the ASLB presiding over the TMI-l restart proceeding should consider the management competence of GPU Nuclear Corpora-tion rather than that of Metropolitan Edison Company and authorized the NRC staff to issue an amendment to the TMI-l operating licer.se which would transfer authority to operate the facility to GPU Nuclear Corporation, Sincerely, f J,dm &
