Dear Congressman Panetta:
Miraglia f Your letter of May 19, 1982 to the Director of the Office of Congressional { Liason recuests infomation on the function assured by the Bechtel Corpora-tion (Bechtel) in the Diablo Canyon Project Organization of Pacific Gas and Elactric Company (PG&E) and on the quality of performance of Bechtel in its participation in the cleanup of the Three Mile Island (TMI) Unit 2. Regarding the first item, the NRC net on April 30,'1982 with PG8E and l Bechtel. A sumary of that meeting is enclosed, including a PGAE press i release describing the reasons for the Bechtel involve ent and a letter i from PG3E providing additional detail with an organization chart for the Diablo Canyon Project. This infomation presents the current !!RC under-standing of the Bechtel role in the project. PG8E will sub11t in the near i future for f1RC staff review a quality assurance progra7 for the Diablo Canyon Project, including additional information on the project organization. i Your view that Bechtel as an organization is not responsible for the j Diablo Canyon Project, in general, is correct. Dechtel personnel, both j on the engineering level and the managerent level have been conbined with PGLE personnel to fem a single, fully integrated Diablo Canyon Project Organization. This organization is resconsible for, anong other assign-l r.ents, fulfilling the tlRC requirements for reinstating the suspended low oower license and for issuance of the full power license of Unit 1. t. The Independent Design Verification Program (IOVP), which was initiated as a result of the Comission Order of !:ovenber 19, 1981 is a part of the entire Of ablo Canyon Project. The IDVP is under the project ranage-nent of Telodyne Engineering Services (TES). PG4E and Bechtel personnel { do not particioate in the r) view and conclusion process of the 10VP, i however, they do provide clarificaticn and additional inforration to the l IDVP, on request. The llRC expects that the femation of the Diablo Canyon j Project Organization with the Occhtel personnel will irprove the perfomance of Diablo Canyon nroject activities on tne engineering and on the canagenent } level. He will assess the effect of the inclusion of Occhtel in this l prograq. i a i I G701300004 870122 f i PDR FOIA h [ HOLMES 06-151 PDR j l ( t

f j-o- c. c. r ..e c ta -4 Regarding Rechtel's involvement at TMI Unit 2, Bechtel was hired by General Public Utilities (GPU) fluclear Corporation, the Tit! Unit 2 licensee, primarily to ranage cleanup activities in the reactor building. These activities in-clude decontanination of equipeent, floors and walls in the building and the defueling of the damaged core. As for the quality of Bechtel's perfomance, there is little basis on which the !!RC could fornulate an opinion for two reasons. First, the ultimate respcnsibility for the conduct of the cleanup rests with GPU, the licensee, not with Bechtel. In regulating the onsite cleanup activities, the HRC's direct licensing interface is with GPU. There is no direct interface between Bechtel and the NRC as Bechtel reports to GPU. Second, the major work efforts in the reactor building ( f.e., the decontamination of exposed surfaces and the activities leading to core defueling) are just now getting undensay. Thus, there is not a sufficient basis at this time on which the llRC can evaluate the Bechtel performance. I trust that this information is responsive to your letter and provides the details requested by your constituent. Sincerely, (Signed Eliam J. Direks Willian J. Dircks Executive Director for Operations
