SIGNIFICANT EVENT Black Fox, Units 1 and 2 On May 30, 1979, the Black Fox Licensing Board certified to the Commission the question of whether the Reed Report and underlying Sub Task Reports should be returned to their owner, the General Electric Company.
The Reed Report, which is a confidential commercially sensitive generic product improvement study which contains the results of General Electric's 1975 marketing and reliability study, had been subpoenaed by the Intervenors in the Black Fox proceeding and produced by GE under protective order after protracted legal discussions.
A full copy of the reoort had been given to the Licensing Board to check the accuracy of excerpts from the Report which dealt with nine safety issues to be litigated in the now-completed Black Fox Radiological H;alth and Safety Hearings.
Prior to the certification and following a request from two citizens in February and March of this year that they be furnished copies of the Reed Report pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, GE had sought confirmation from the NRC that the documents were proprietary in nature and thus exempt from public disclosure.
While the NRC Staff has yet to rule on this issue, the Chairman of the Licensing Board denied the F0IA request pending an NRC review of the propreitary nature of these documents.
