20555 Re:
Preedom of Information Act Request
Dear Mr. Felton:
On behalf of the Union of Concerned Scientists, I submit this Freedom of Information Act request for further documents related to the recent accident at Three Mile Island Unit #2.
In a letter of April 6, 1979, I requested communications and log books related to the accident.
This request relates specifically to documents and other records produced by the Inspection and Enforcement staff or its agents.
Please provide copies of the following:
1.
All documents or other records prepared by the I&E staff concerning the accident at TMI #2, in-cluding interviews with operators and other personnel and the actions that have been or may be taken with respect to that reactor.
2.
All docuw.ents or other records prepared by the I&E staff that concern other nuclear reactors con-structed by Babcock and Wilcox and that are related to or reflect the occurrence of the accident at TMI
- 2.
I request that the NRC waive any fees for the production of these documents as provided by 5 USC 5552 (a) (4) (A).
I request further that you assure that the records provided to us are complete as of the date of your response so that we will be fully up to date on developments concerning TMI #2 and the other B&W reactors.
I understand from conversations with Mr. Grimsley and others that your staff is hard pressed to respond to the large numbers of FOIA requests that the NRC is now receiving concern-ing Three Mile JJJ 7907190097

I suggest a procedure that should simplify their effort and help you avoid extra paperwork involved in re-sponding to new individual requests or to supplementary requests.
If the Commission will commit itself to place all documents related to Three Mile Island and to other B&W reactors on the public record within one week of the date on which they are received or prepared, I am sure that UCS and other interested groups would feel less need to file formal FOIA requests, and particularly, they would feel less need to file supplementary requests to assure that they have all documents that have come to light since the Cornission 's response to their earlier requests.
Of course, if the Commission were to determine that some documents should not be released, it would have to give pub-lic notice of that decision so that UCS and others could consider whether they should formally request those docu-ments.
I hope that this procedure meets with your approval.
I believe that it is the interest of all involved.
I look forward to your response.
Sincerely, c
