GPU NUCLEAR CORPORATION'S RESPONSE TO THE NRC STAFF'S SECOND REQUEST FOR DOCUMENTS On January 29, 1987, the NRC Staff filed NRC Staff's Second Set of Interrogatories and Request For Documents to GPU Nuclear Corporation (GPUN). GPUN answered the interrogatories on February 19, 1987 and provides this response to the document re-quest.

The NRC Staff's document request asked GPUN to provide all notes, memoranda and records of a March 23, 1983 meeting prepared during or after said meeting by any person in attendance. Other than handwritten notes prepared by Edwin Gischel some time after the meeting, which notes have already been produced, and Mr.

Gischel's April 2, 1983 statement which is included in the September 1, 1983 OI Report, GPUN has not found any documents in its custody or control responsive to this request. However, GPUN is providing the following notes of interviews conducted by Mr.

Stier or his associates:

t Mr. Kanga was interviewed on the dates above over the.

telephone. He expressed little specific recollection of what occurred.at the March 23, 1983 meeting. Kanga does generally recall, however, that Arnold asked him to schedule a meeting with all the Unit 2 department managers and their immediate f

subordinates for the morning of March 23rd so that he could brief them on a press conference which was to be held by Parks later,that day.

, Kanga does not recall' who opened the meeting, but he believes

that he and Arnold spoke about what Parks was going to say at the press conference. He also believes that Arnold may have read a summary of the press release to the group. It is Kanga's 1

believe that neither he nor Arnold had an opportunity to review in detail the affidavit of Parks prior to the meeting, but Kanga is not sure whether the affidavit was even available at that time.

4 Kanga is certain that it was not the purpose of the meeting to make a decision regarding disciplinary action against Parks.

In responding to questions and statements from the people attending the meeting, it is Kanga's recollection that both he and Arnold i

advised them that Parks had to be treated properly and that he had certain rights. He vaguely recalls that there was some i discussion about restricting Parks to certain specific areas on f site when he returned. He does not recall a discussion about allowing Parks access to company documents. It is his recollection that the discussion regarding Parks focussed on hoti he was to be i

Pcgo 2 treated when he returned to the Island and not how he was to be disciplined. Kanga believes it is highly unlikely that he or Arnold would have discussed that type of matter in a meeting with over twenty people. i I

Kanga was read the contents of the Gischel affidavit pertaining to the March 23, 1983 meeting. When asked specifically whether or not he recalls any of the conversations mentioned in the Gischel affidavit, Kanga indicated he had no specific recollection of any of the specific remarks attributed to him or any of the other individuals mentioned in the affidavit. When asked specifically whether he could have said Parks would'be gotten rid of quietly after being put on a leave of absence, he did not recall saying that, and strongly doubts he would have made such a statement. In addition, Kanga pointed out that apart from matters of job site deployment, as Director of Three Mile island Unit 2, he did not have the authority to decide what action to take in respect to Parks' conduct and that the decision would have

, to be made by Bechtel officials in Gaithersburg. As a result, i

he believes it highly unlikely that he would have made such a comment. Kanga was also asked whether he recalls Bob Arnold originally taking a position that Parks should be ertended cooperation and then later changing that position when objections were raised by John Barton. Kanga stated that he does not recall l that and doubts if Bob Arnold would have changed his position l

I because of Barton's objections.

Pcga 3 It was Kanga's recollection that the discussion regarding Parks focussed on affording him proper treatment if and when Parks returned to the Island. It was not until later that a decision was made by Bechtel to put Parks on a leave of absence.

It is his recollection that the basis of this decision was that

Parks had made a number of inflammatory and disparaging allegations which would prevent him from effectively working with other employees at the TMI-2 site and that his presence on site would disrupt the work of other employees. Kanga did not recall any discussion of the Udall committee at the March 23, 1983 meeting referred to by Mr. Gischel.
