USE OF r.~ICROFICRE AT LOCAL PUBLIC DOCUMENT ROOM (NRC)
About a month ago.we brought to the attention.of your aides in Pen."1sville and.
1;Vashington~ problems with changes that are currently underway in the Local Public Document Room that stores in:formation*related to the nuclear facilities here in Salem Cou."1ty *. We know of no Public Hearing or. meeting held locally by the NRG to discuss these cha."1ges.
- e *feel this latest -cha.-rige* is just another attempt to keep the public from.having access to information by setting up new barriers.
We :feel we have a right to have access and have used this information :for what we feel is a service *to
- the public as others have.
The NRC is ta.'lring the files out of the Document Rooms and

. is replacing them._ with COSTLY INACCESSIBLE Microfiche Readers.
This mea."1s the only way to look something up is to rely solely on the accession list~ The accession list, generally is so brief you* ca11 not possibly identify (from subjects)
- exact issues.
Under the present system, you can review every piece of correspondence to determine related correspondence side by side.
We have in the past. discussed with NRC nersonnel some of the problems with the current filing practices and computer prograns and find it interesting we had no knowledge of.
nlaTl!led cha.-riges.
We also*auestion the cost of Microfiche whe~ there are no benefits.to the public.
We feel an injunction should be issued until an on-site inspection can be made with the writers in attendance to show why we feel money is being wasted on a system that would keep the public from having. access to what we have a right to.
If steps have already been t~ken by your office with regard to this problem*, we would appreciate knowing what can be done to stop the ~hange.
Very truly yours, Alfred C. Colema.TJ., Jr.

About a month ago we brought to the attention of your aides in Pen..-risville and Washington problems with changes that are currently underway in the Local Public Document Room that stores information related to the nuclear facilities here in Salem County.
We know of no Public Hearing or.meeting held locally by the NRC to discuss these cha,-riges.

V'le feel we have a right to have access and have used this information for what we feel is a service to the nublic ~s others have.
The NRC is ta~ing the files out of the Document Rooms and is replacing them with COSTLY INACCESSIBLE Microfiche Readers, This me2...T1S the only way to look something up is to rely solely on the accession list.
The accession list, generally is so brief you can not possibly identify (from subjects) exact issues.
Under the present system, you can review every piece of correspondence to determine related correspondence side by side.
We have in the past discussed with NRG personnel some of the problems with the current filing practices and computer prog-rc:ms and :find it interesting we had no knowledge of nla1111ed cha...~ges.
We also auestion the cost of Microfiche when there are no benefits-to the public.
