Office of Investigations Field Office, Region 1 Nuclear Regulatory Commission 475 Allendale Road King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406 Re:
Vermont Yankee - James Massey
Dear Mr. Matakas:
Thank you for your letter dated March 22, which arrived on March 28.
Please accept my apology for not responding to your telephone calls of March 15 and March 18.
I had assumed that my conversation with Mr. Calvert on the 19th was sufficient, but I erred.
Be that as it may, Mr. Massey is now prepared to discuss the l
matter with you.
He would hope also to be able to combine a meeting with Mr. Calvert if Mr Calvert is still interested in l
discussing the subject of advanced off gas system at vermont l
Yankee.
I Mr. Massey would like me to be present during the interview.
I understand that you will want to set it up so that it can be l
l taken down by a court reporter and transcribed.
I suggest that l
you give me a call so that we can set up a mutually convenient time.
j Yours truly,
- k bw avi A. Gib DAG:ajb 1

(NECNP). In substance, the allegation concerns the following: The VYNPS offgas system has been allowed to deteriorate and is discharging illegal amounts of radioactivity; Planned refurbishment of the system was canceled and those i engineers who spoke out against the cancellation were " punished" and had a " bad report" inserted in their personnel file; The offgas system was recently declared "out of operation" j because the monitoring equipment was out of calibration; and The Yankee Atomic Vice President is aware of the above problems but won't act. l At the pr,nel, it was understood that the matter was already under review by the licensee, and thus, the decision to refer it to the licensee for investigation and have OI review the final report. The formal NRC referral to the licensee took place on February 9,1996. On the same date, the Regional Administrator and 01:RI F0D discussed the opening of an investigative file to more formally provide for 01 tracking and review of the licensee's efforts in this matter.
