Office of Nuelcar Regulatorv Research U.S. Nuclear Reg.'latory Commission Washington, DC 205:3 Dear Gary l'or your ree ent teleph v. request. I has< enclosed a number of briei crite-ups d.'seri.m.; technical assistance provided by the Instrumentation and Controls Di isiri in connection cith the TMI-2 incident. Enclosures 1 through S were pnpr d previously for incorparation in a cor'prehensive write-up being cc:; piled by F. R. Mynutt's office that will document contributions of the entire Laboratory. presents an overview of ISC involvement, :ith Enclosures 2-8 providing additional detail en selected topics.
Enclosures 9 and 10 are copies of viewgraphs that were prepared by J. L. Anderson and G. L. Zigler, respectively, to T. H. Pigford and his staff when they were briefed at for presentation the Laboratory June 11-12, 19"'9.
who used the same vir.egraphsFigford was also addressed by D. N. Fry and R. C. Kry (of which you have copies) that you saw in 2athesda on June 8 at the Surveillance and Diagnostics Review Group Meeting.
To the best of cy knowledge, these enclosures constitute our total documentation to date on TNI-2 technical assistance.Ilowever, as I mentioned in our telephone conversation, we are just now preparing (at the to him verbally on June 11, so as soon as we have a draft avai will be sure to send you a copy for your information and comment.
If you have need for additional information, please contact R. C.
on FTS 624-5561.
