Texas Utilities Electric Co. (Comanche Peak)
Dkt. Nos. 50-445, 446-OL Gentlemen:
On several occasions this Board (and its predecessor Board) have made clear the duty of any party to promptly provide the Board and the parties with relevant information that comes into i
their possession.
E.g., Memorandum and Order (Motion to Reopen l
the Record and To Strike), 9/1/83, p. 2, fn 3; Memorandum and Order, 1/4/83, pp. 5-6; Order Subsequent to Prehearing Conference of December 1, 1981, 12/18/81.
It has come to our attention that an extremely relevant investigative report prepared by the NRC has been issued in final l
form and was delivered to the Staf f (Mr. Stello) last week.
We l-understand the report deals with serious deficiencies in the QA/QC program at Comanche Peak and serious problems with oversight of the plant by the Region IV office.
We also,
understand that most of the specific disclosures made in this report are new and have not been previously made known to the Board or the parties.
We are deeply concerned that the Staf f may be sitting or:
this report, perhaps even hoping to find a way to change or modify its extremely damaging conclusions, certainly hoping to delay its release.
This would be contrary to their legal duty to l

? comply with this Board's orders and pronouncements and detrimental to the interest of CASE and its ability to pursue the public interest and argue its pending motions before both this Board and the Appeal Board.
We urge that this Board promptly reemphasize to the Staff its duty immediately to make available to the Board and the parties the report it has been holding concerning Comanche Peak and the performance of Region IV.
Sincerely,
)
