FRIENDS OF THE COAST OPPOSING NUCLEAR POLLl]TlON Post Office Box 98. Edgecornb. Maine 04556 207-882-6000 August 27,1999 Dr. Ronald Bellamy Chief, Decommissioning and Laboratory Branch Q

Dear Dr. Bellamy,

i SEP 93 9 : li At an April 29,1999 meeting of the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company ( MYAPC)

Community Advisory Panel (CAP) on Decommissioning, I asked if, given the lack of resident inspectors and limited NRC-licensee review correspondence, I could take part in weekly NRC conference calls with the licensee.

The CAP minutes for the April 29* meeting read as follows,

...Mr. Shadis asked if there were any way to make the content ofconit:rence calls public; could an interested public member take part in the conference calls? Dr.Bellamy replied that yes, one could and extended an invitation to panel members to take part in a call, they generally last about 45 minutes...

Mr. Michael Meisner of MYAPC has since relayed to me concerns expressed by his staff that my presence on a conference phone call might have a chilling effect on the free flow of discussion.

Please tell me if MYAPC has been in touch with you or NRC regarding this, " problem." If so, is this why you haven't given me notice or schedules of conference calls with MYAPC?

More Than three months have elapsed since you agreed to allow mq_to audit the NRC conducting the public's business with the licensee. I have been told that during this time, decommissioning contractors have, helter-skelter, cut a powerline trench across a contaminated yard area. If that is so, it will certainly be an issue we will raise when we intervene in the application for approval of the License Termination Plan. Where are free release exemptions filed for contaminated materials being shipped to Tennessee, or now possibly to Connecticut? Many troublesome issues could be resolved if NRC were not playing this decommissioning close with the licensee.

Please respond promptly and detail the steps you plan to remedy the lapse of the past three plus months. Please also include a schedule of conference calls and access protocols.

Sincerely b#
