Executive Director for Operations FROM:
James P. Murray Deputy General Counsel
SUBJECT:
MEETING t!ITII SEABROOI: REPRESENTATIVES This is to provide a brief record of the meeting we had last evening with Mr.
Derrickson and Mr. Feigenbaum of Seabrook.
Mr. Derrickson had requested the meeting in a telephone contact with your offica last week.
The stated purpose of the meeting was to introuduce Mr. Feigenbaum, the newly appoint-ed V.P. for engineering, to you.
You asked me to sit in on the meeting and make a record of it for possible future reference.
The meeting began at 5:00 p.m. on January 27, 1987 and ended about 45 minutes later.
After introductions you stated your understanding of the reason for the meeting and noted the Congressional interest in certain types of meetings between the staff and Seabrook representatives.
You stated that we did not consider that this meeting was the sort for which advance notice was required to, be given under a commitment the NRC has made to Congress-man Markey.
You noted that I was present, however, to make a record of the meeting in the event it might later prove to be of interest.
Derrickson remarked that he had just come from o visit at TVA and a discus-sion ensued as to what Derrickson had been doing at TVA, what he saw as some of the problems there, how he thought solutions might be implemented, and the general philosophy of prioritization in the context of resolving numer-ous problems.
You explained your approach to prioritizing numerous plant modifications.
You then asked whether Seabrook was planning to submit a utility-generated emergency plan for the portion of the EP zone in Massachusetts.
After noting the emergency planninF cfforts already undertaken in Massachusetts, the anticipated antagonism to any utility plan, and other "real world" prob-lems, Derrickson said that a plan would be ready by the end of April.
However, he said the company had not decided whether and, if so, when to submit it.
You then observed that if ene were to put political and complex procedural issues aside for a moment and focus solely on the technical issues, it seemed to you the strongest technical coce for public safety would include e formal plan.
Derrickson noted the strong and growing opposition to the expensive, plant i
ever operating but ascerted that he thought Seabrook hsd made a strong case l
in its 2.758 petition for relief from the ten mile EPZ requirement.
He said that if it is t.djudged to have established a prima facie case for relief under I
the rules he would like to see final resolution of the matter proceed quickly.

3-n 2-You asked what the distribution of the population.was within the portion of the EPZ' in M6ssachusetts.
Brief discussion suggested it was non-linear and that most of the population viss 5 miles or more away.
The meeting then ended on the note that the Seabrook people were anxious to i
do anything they could to bring matters to a conclusion.

4 Dear Commissioner Asselstine;.
Attached with this letterLis correspondence.withTyour. Region I1 ofilce and the FEMA regaroing a future Emergency Response Planning Forum'for schools. We are' disappointed that.the NRC Region-I office 7could not-adjust'their schedule with over three weeks notice ~to send a representative to the School Emergency, Response Plan Forum April.16tn.
We have endeavored to give divergent parties at interest an opportunity to explain their position:en Emergency, Response. Planning
.tcFthe constituency that would be'affected by these plans.
The NRC and FEMA both participated-in a public forum with the late Governor'of N.H.,
Hugh Gallen, in March of 1982.'That participation helped clear up many unanswered questions the public'had early-on in the process.
Assuming many questions will be generated from this Forum as well tnat
. relate to agency rules ano procedures, and assuming that the present schedule rigidity remains in effect', would the NRC staff ce availaole to answer written questions orought out by the' Forum ?
The Forum planners would greatly appreciate your_ assistance in this
~
matter.
Sincerely, r
r n&~l v^
