December 16, 1986 Heeting With William Derrickson Concerning Seabrook

• On Tuesday, December 16, 1986, a meeting was held in Mr. Stello's o/fice with officials from Public Service Company of New Hampshire. The meeting was cttended by Vic Stello~, Dick Vollmer, William Derrickson, the Senior Vice President for Public Service Company of New Hampshire, another official from the utility and myself.

At the beginning of the meeting, I explained generally the NRC's practice with regard to meetings with utility officials. Specifically, I indicated that it would be appropriate for the utility to discuss with Mr. Stello cdministrative matters such c scheduling, timing and manpower resources, but that.under the NRC's policy statement on "Open Meetings", discussions involving the exchange of technical information would have to be held in an open meeting with prior notice to the participants. Mr. Derrickson indicated that he would limit his discussion accordingly.

Mr. Derrickson then stated that on Thursday the utility was going to hold a press conference and announce the filing of a petition for a waiver of th2 Commission's rules concerning the 10 mile EPZ. He indicated that the petition would be filed under 10 CFR 2.758 and would seek to reduce the S2cbrook EPZ to one mile. ( Mr. Stello asked me to explain the procedures for o petition under 2.758 which I did.) Mr. Derrickson indicated that he felt thnt they had a very strong technical case in support of their petition and that they had spent a lot of time making sure every point was fully covered.

Mr. Stello inquired as to whether the utility was also considering preparing a utility plan and Mr. Derrickson indicated that some work was being done in this area. Mr. Stello also asked whether the utility intended to combine the waiver request with a proposed utility plan and Mr. Derrickson indicated that tha present petition did not involve a utility plan.

During the course of the meeting Mr. Derrickson indicated that after the pr0ss conference he was leaving for Florida for a vacation. Mr. Stello asked hin about his new role at TVA and Mr. Derrickson explained his duties ganerally.
