Dear Ms. MacLearn:

'I noted your: article dated March 15, 1989, regarding claims of a. Itpse 'in' NRC inspection coverage at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station.

Enclosed foriyour-information 'are copies of recent NRC Pilgriin Biweekly Status reports. "These widely distributed, publicly 'available, reports give ;some information regarding. our inspection program and indicate what periods of; time twe chose to provide-24-hour: inspection coverage.

NRC has tan extraordinary. inspection program,in place at Pilgrim, in order to-s closely monitor and' evaluate -the ' facility's ' performance ' during' return to full

. power: operation. Since the NRC Commissioners' decision in December to endorse the NRC. staff recommendation to allow restart and power ascension to proceed, NRC has-devoted over 3,000 person-hours of direct inspection to Pilgrim.

' For:your information,.I have' written Mrs. Fleming to! inform her,.as others have-verbally,lthat she is mistaken in her contention that there were no inspectors onsite the evening'of. March 4, 1989.

Sincerely, Original Spd W A. Randy EDM A. Randy Blough, Chief Reactor Projects Section No. 3B Division of Reactor Projects
