April 8, 1979 NOTE FOR:
E. Case V. Stello R. Vollmer D.
Ross T. Murley FRCH:
Roger Mattson
~
Per our discussions of 4/7 p.m., the following procedure should oc followed to assure coordination of National Lab support for NRC activities at THI-2.
a)
Either NRR in Bethesda or NRR site operations can originate a work request of a lab.
In either case, the work request will be coordinated with the following people:
Bethesda:
Aycock or Miraglia THI-2:
Ybarrondo or Bixby b)
Bixby will maintain a log of all active and completed Lab inputs, circulating updated copies every three days.
c)
Bixby will keep Murley informed of new work requests for necessary contract followup.
The fi r s t clean copy of the Bixby log is attached.

OF NATIONAL LABORATORY SUPPORT WORK FOR THREE MILE ISLAND TO:
D.
Ross FROM:
W.W.
b'y / L. J. Ybarrondov DATE:
Revision one, April 7,
1979 After our meeting with you and Roger Mattson, on April 7,
Willifs and I updated the National Laboratory Suppo'rt Work for Three Mile Island summary, incorporating all of your comments.
In particular, we called Berlinger of NRC and Tony Buhl, and have the new core melt calculations that your requested under way.
