Dear Mr. Denton:
On November 28, 1983, Mr. Kuhns advised the Commission of plans to establish a Nuclear Safety & Compliance Committee of the GPU Nuclear Board of Directors. This Committee was to be composed entirely of outside members of the Board.
Several announcements regarding selection of the members and staff support have been made since then. However, I believe it may be helpful to provide a brief summary of the status of this matter. The enclosure provides that status. It shows the Committee is in place and beginning to function.
Copies of this letter and enclosure arc being provided to the Commission, Boards, and parties to the TMI-l Restart Proceeding.
Very truly yours, f J P. R. Clark President pfk Enclosure cc: Shaw, Pittman, Potts & Trowbridge 8407060092 840629 ;

GPU NUCLEAR CORPORATION STATUS OF THE NUCLEAR SAFETY & COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE June 29, 1984 On November 28, 1983, the GPU Nuclear Corporation informed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission of its intention to form the Nuclear Safety &
Compliance Committee (NSCC), consisting of three outside members of the GPU Nuclear Board of Directors. The following is the current status of this effort.
- 1. Members Robert V. Laney, Chairman - Elected Director January 25, 1984 Lawrence.L. Humphreys - Elected Director February 23, 1984 Dr. Warren F. Witzig - Elected Director February 23, 1984 This membership was formally approved by the GPU Nuclear Board of Directors on February 23, 1984.
Resumes of the NSCC members are enclosed.
- 2. Charter The Charter developed by the NSCC (copy enclosed) has been approved by the GPU-Nuclear Board of Directors.
3 ~ Staff Support The NUS Corporation was selected to provide initial staff support to the NSCC. . This effort began on 'May 1,1984. Four people are working full time and office space has been provided at TMI-l and Oyster Creek. Review of Technical . Specifications, other documents, and discussions with senior GPU Nuclear- staff members are underway.
Plans for ongoing effort and staffing are being finalized.

l Robert V. Laney is a consultant in nuclear energy and energy project management. He has broad executive and technical exper-ience in power plant operation, in energy research and develop-ment, in the construction and operation of large energy projects, and with the complexities of bringing new energy processes into practical use. His working experience includes extensive per-iods in operating power plants for the U. S. Navy, in the Navy nuclear reactor program, in the construction industry, in Government, and in energy research and development.
While an officer in the Navy, Mr. Laney was a, member of a small group of engineers chosen by Admiral H. G. Rickover to
-assist him in developing nuclear power plants for naval ship propulsion. He served as Project Manager for the development, design, and construction of the land prototype of the Sea Wolf nuclear power plant. He participated in the construction of the first nuclear submarines, the U.S.S. Nautilus and Sea Wolf.
These were followed by several other applications of nuclear
- power, including surface ships and the first utility-operated nuclear power station at Shippingport, Pennsylvania.
While Naval representative at the Bettis Laboratory, Mr.
Laney developed the first comprehensive quality assurance pro-gram for.the Navy's network of nuclear component suppliers.
From this work in developing a new energy technology-for the Navy, Mr. Laney, as a civilian, moved into nuclear ' ship con . _
struction at the General Dynamics Shipyard in Quincy, Massachu--
setts. In 1963, he was appointed Vice-President and General Manager. . In this capacity, he was responsible for the design and construction of a number of the Navy's most successful nuc-lear powered surface ships and submarines.
In 1970, he turned to the development of more advanced-i energy technologies when he was asked by the University of Chicago to become-Associate Director of the Argonne National Laboratory, devoted.to developing-a range of new energy options.
He was later appointed Deputy Director with additional'respons-ibility for total Laboratory administration.- During this period, .s, he directed programs - for . improved. methods of coal combustion, conservation technologies, high-temperature high-efficiency batteries, nuclear fusion, and breeder reactors.
He retired from Argonne in 1979 to become a private consult-ant.- Since then he has-l
- Served as a member 'of the Senior Advisory Panel to the -
Chairman of Commonwealth Edison to determine the strengths.
'and deficiencies in the Company's nuclear energy program in the light of Three Mile Island.

. . 1 CHARTER NUCLEAR SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE l
1 I. PURPOSE The Nuclear Safety and Compliance Committee of the GPU Nuclear Corporation Board of Directors was established by the Board on February 23, 1984, to help ensure nuclear and radiation safety of GPU System nuclear activities by:
o Independent, perceptive monitoring, and o Reporting its observations to the Board of Directors.
The primary focus of the Committee is safety of operations, including compliance with regulatory requirements, licens--
ing requirements, and procedures.
II. MEMBERSHIP The Committee.will consist of three outside members of the GPU Nuclear Board of Directors, selected by_the Board of Directors for their professional credentials, judgment, and independence.
III. INDEPENDENCE To provide for a well informed and independent review, the_ Committee will select its own staff and plan and con-duct its program of surveillance to accomplish the above Purpose. The-Committee and its staff _will have unre--
stricted access to GPU Nuclear personnel,-plant operations,. j and records.-
l l
1
Fo.
l Neither Committee members nor members of their immediate l families may own bonds or stock issued by GPU or subsidiary companies. Committee members may not enter into personal services contracts with GPU or its subsidiaries, or take any other actions which would create a conflict of interest and prevent their performing their duties with comple'.e independence.
IV. RESPONSIBILITIES The Committee is to conduct a continuing review and ap-praisal of GPU Nuclear's activities at and in support of their TMI-l and Oyster Creek Stations with specific at-tention to safety and compliance.
V. REPORTS The Committee will report its activities and observations
, to the Board, in writing, at least twice each year.
These reports are to provide independent and comprehen-sive assessments of the standards of safety being achieved at the TMI-l and Oyster Creek Stations. The Committee will present consensus reports when it is reasonable to do so. However, significant dissenting views of a member will be presented in a minority report.
It is the intention of the Board.to make these reports available to the NRC and-to the public.
-. ~
The Committee is responsible to bring immediately to the attention of GPU Nuclear management and the Board any practice or condition which has a potential to reduce the safety of operations. Such reports will be made by the Committee to the Chairman of the Board and to the Chief Executive Officer.
The Committee will be available to meet at least twice a year with the GPU Board of Directors.
VI. COMMUNICATIONS Free communication between the Committee, its staff, and GPU Nuclear management personnel is vital in order for the Committee to perform its functions successfully. The Committee is expected to conduct its oversight activities in such a way as to foster openness and candor.
The Committee and staff will normally communicate their observations only to the Board and will avoid suggesting or recommending any action to the GPU Nuclear staff. Mat-ters of timely concern may, however, be communicated directly by the Committee or staff to the Station Vice -
President, and thereafter to the Chief Executive Jfficer and the Board.
l l
A g_
. m The existence of the Nuclear Safety and Compliance Com- I mittee and its staff will not diminish in any respect GPU !
Nuclear Corporation's responsibility for the safe opera-tion and maintenance of the GPU nuclear units.
