Ms. Nina Bell Nuclear Information and Resource Service 1616 P Street, NW, Suite 160 IN RESPONSE REFER Washington, DC 20036 TO F01A-85-655

Dear Ms. Bell:

This is the final response to your letter dated September 23, 1985, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (F0IA), four categories of documents related to quality control at the Callaway nuclear power plant.

' The 36 documents listed on the enclosed Appendix D are being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Exemptions (5) and (7)(A) of the F0IA (5 U.S.C.

552(b)(5) and (7)(A)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(5) and (7)(i) of the Comission's regulations. The documents contain predecisional advice, opinions, and recomendations of the staff, and disclosure would interfere with an enforcement proceeding.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.9 of the Comission's regulations, it has been determined that the information withheld is exempt from production or disclosure, and that its production or disclosure is contrary to the public interest. The persons responsible for this denial are the undersigned and Mr. James M.

Taylor, Director, Office of Inspection and Enforcement.

This denial may be appealed to the Comission's Executive Director for Operations within 30 days from the receipt of this letter. As provided in 10 CFR 9.11, any such appeal must be in writing, addressed to the Executive Director for Operations, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission, Washington, DC 20555, and should clearly state on the envelope and in the letter that it is an " Appeal from an Initial F0IA Decision."

Sincerely, r.w h. -

Donnie H. Grimsley, Director Division of Rules and Records Office of Administration

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 522, as amended, and 10 CFR 9.8 of the Commission's regulations, the Nuclear Information and Resource Service requests the following documents regarding the Callaway nuclear power plant. Please consider " documents" to include reports, studies, test results, correspondence, memoranda, meeting notes, meeting minutes, working papers, graphs, charts, diagraras, notes and summaries of conversations and interviews, computer records, and any other forms of written communication, including internal NRC Staff memoranda.

Pursuant to this request, please provide all documents prepared or utilized by, in the possession of, or routed through the NRC related to:

1. A February 22, 1985 audit report of Union Electric's quality assurance office which led to the suspension of inspectors;

2. All related requests for corrective action or plans for corrective action related to this issue, and Union Electric reviews of the quality control inspection system;

3. Union Electric Company documents that indicate that on March 10, 1984, Terry Shaw, a OA supervisor, directed his inspectors to take their technical problems initially to Mr.

The Nuclear Information and Resource Service is a non-profit organization serving local organizations concerned about nuclear power and providing infor-mation to the general public.
