Dear Senator Pell:
g h
Thank you for your inquiries of November 17,19, and 24,1986 addressed to the NRC Office of Congressional Affairs regarding concerns of several of your constituents relating to the Seabrook St_atipn. The letters are similar to other form-type let-ters sent to various riembers af Congress in the New England area.
If you continue f
to receive additional letters of this type, we would hope the information provided 1
herein will provide sufficient information for your response.
y In July of this year, the NRC Region I Office learned of the establishment 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 i
work place. The Region I Office has been in frequent communication with the Pro-t ject's Director, Ms. Sharon Tracy, since early August 1986.
NRC Pegion I received j
several pieces of correspondence from the Employee's Legal Project in September 2
and October 1986, which provided a number of safety concerns pertaining to the
?
Seabrook Station, i
n i
These safety concerns, as they became available, were given to the NRC Resident 2
Inspectors as well as Public Service of New Hampshire for prelininary investigation.
In the final analysis, some 61 potential safety concerns were formulated from the b
various documents received from the Employee's Legal Project.
In order to i
thoroughly investigate these concerns collectively, a special team inspection was 4
7 conducted by seven NRC Region I inspectors at Seabrook during the period i"
E November 3-14, 1986.
In addition to their inspection activities at the site, these inspectors 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.
T The NRC Region I inspection team is in the process of evaluating its findings and
{
E preparing a final report which should be available in the near future.
Prdliminary 4
indications are that the concerns raised by the Employee's Legal Project do not
{i i
raise any specific new safety issues which adversely impact on safety at Seabrook 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 specific in-f formation regarding existing concerns.
NRC Region I is prepared to act promptly e
on any additional information provided by the Employee's Legal Project or others.
y If I or my staff can be of any further assistance, please do not besitate to con-tact me.
