Nuclear Regulatory Commission one. White Flint North, 15th floor 11555 Rockville Pike Rockville, MD 20852 RE: Informal Discovery Request Re MAG EX-19

Dear Mr. Turk and Ms. Chan:

In regard to the Mass A.G.'s ongoing informal discovery ,

with respect to MAG EX-19, we request that tne NRC staff provide us with the following additional information:

1. What action, if any, did the NRC staff take to follow up'on the " Negative Comments" contained in Mr.

Perrotti's memorandum of July 14, 1988, to Edwin Fox?

2. Since the June 1988 Graded Exercise, has the NRC staff evaluated any SS-ERO drills or exercises which involved or simulated making offsite PAR's? If so, state when these drills / exercises occurred, what l NRC1 staffers were present, and how the drill / exercise was conducted, and how (the methodology) the drill / exercise was evaluated, and what that evaluation was. Please provide all documents in the possession of the NRC staff which refer or pertain to these drills / exercises and/or the NRC's evaluation of the i SS-ERO's PAR decision-making.

3. Please advise us of the date when the 1989 NRC observed exercise for the SS-ERO will be conducted.

We are further requesting that the NRC and the ,

9 Applicants permit us to have one observer present in the EOF to observe the process by which the SS-ERO formulates offsite PARS.

Mr. Turk and Ms. Chan March 24, 1989 Page Two I also wish to clarify one aspect of our conversation of March 15, 1989, which you seek to memorialize in your letter of March 20: One way or the other (by deposition or cross at the hearing) I do want to question Mr. Perrotti, and I want the NRC to produce hTm voluntarily. In the conversation I said that while my schedule was very tight, if the NRC was unable to get the waiver it was seeking to bring Perrotti in for the hearings, ! would. depose him now, before he left the agency, if that was the only way for the NRC to produce him voluntarily.

Perhaps the-NRC can produce him voluntarily at the hearings after he leaves the agency, even if the waiver is not granted.

Whatever the method, I want the NRC to voluntarily produce Mr.

Perrotti for questioning. I do not want to be forced to subpoena him to appear at the hearings.

Very truly yours,

, vDL<>
