L t DATE:

Revision one, April 7,

1979 s

After our meeting with you and Roger ?tattson, on April 7,

Willits'and I updated the National Laboratory Support Work for Three Mile Island summary, incorporating all of your comments.

In particular, we called Berlinger of NRC and Tony Suhl, and have the new core celt calculations that your requested under way.
