Consumers Power Company-2-DEC 17 1973 As discussed with Mr. Keeley by Mr. Vetter of my staff, it is my understanding that Consumers Power Company has waived their review of the report for pro-prietary information and that this waiver vill be confirmed by you in writing.
Accordingly, a copy of the enclosed report has been placed in the AEC's Public Document Poom.
No reply to this latter is necessary; however, should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be glad to discuss them with you.
Sincerely yours,
.
