Dear Mr. Chairinan:
In several telephone conversations yesterday with NRC staff members, Mr. Sidman of your' office expressed an interest in a meeting I recently had with Y
Mr. William Derrickson from Public Service Company of New Hampshire concerning i
the Seabrook facility. I believe that through his conversations with the t
42 staff he was able to obtain all of the information which he was seeking; however, if it will be of assistance to you in this regard, I am enclosing a copy of a summary of that meeting. Mr. Vince Noonan of my staff had a meeting with Mr. Derrickson on the same day, and I am also enclosing a copy of a summary of that meeting as well.
In his conversations with the staff Mr. Sidman also expressed interest in the NRC's practice with regard to the holding of meetings with utility officials, and specifically inquired as to which meetings with utility officials were publicly noticed and which ones were not. The NRC does not have a regulation expressly addressing public meetings with an applicant. However, in 1978 the NRC did issue a policy statement which provided generally that when the technical staff is meeting with utility officials to discuss their application
~
and to exchange technical information, interested parties would be advised of such meetings. There are, however, certain meetings which are not covered by the Policy Statement and which are not noticed to the public. As Mr. Vollmer recently advised you in the testimony he gave at your hearings in Amesbury, Massachusetts KRC staff management may meet with corporate licensee management to discuss administrative matters such as scheduling and timing of certain staff reviews, rather than to discuss technical information, and these meetings are not open to the public or noticed. The recent meetings held in Bethesda with Mr. Derrickson were of this nature and were not noticed.
I am hopeful that the enclosed meeting summaries and this explanation of the NRC's meeting practice will be of assistance to you.
Sincerely,
[
