Dear Mr. Kuczynski:

s This refers to your letter regarding safety concerns at Seabrook Station. Your letter has been referred to me for respcnse.

,1 x

In July of this year, the NRC Region I Office learned of the est'ablishment of the Employee's Legal Project of Amesbury, Massachusetts, which was designed.to help current and former nuclear power plant' employees to report safety problems at their work place. The Region I Office has been in frequent communication with the p~io-ject's director, Ms. Sharon Tracy, since early August, 1986. NRC Region'I received several pieces of correspondence from the Employee's Legal Proje.ct in September and October,1986, which provided a number of safety concerns pertaining to the Seabrook Station. -

i These safety concerns, as they became available, were given to the NRC Resider.t Inspectors as well as Public Service of New Hampshire for preliminary inve'stigation.

In the final analysis, some 61 potential safety concerns were formulated f' rom the various documents received from the Employee's Legal Project. In order to thoroughly investigate these concerns collectively, a special team inspection was.',

conducted by seven NRC Region I inspectors at Seabrook during the period November 3-14, 1986. In addition to their inspection activities at the site, these inspec-tors also interviewed those former workers who had given their concerns to the Employee's Legal Project and who were willing to talk to the NRC. ~ , _

The NRC Region I inspection team issued its final report on December 19, 1986.

The report concludes that the concerns raised by the Employee's_ Legal Project do not raise any specific new safety issues which adversely impact on safety at Sea-brook Station. At the conclusion of our inspection,. we again told Ms. Tracy to contact NRC Region I immediately if she received additional concerns or more speci-fic information regarding existing concerns. NRC Region I is prepared to act ~

promptly on any additional information provided by the Employee's Legal Project or others.
