Dear Senator McComack:
RVollmer RDeYoung JDavis Your letter of May 3,1979, to Chairman Hendrie has been referred to me j
for reply.
I interpret the basic thrust of your letter to be a request that pemission for the Davis-Besse Nuclear Generating Station, Unit No.1 (Davis-Besse 1) to resume operation be withheld pending the conclusion of public hearings in Northern Ohio which demonstrate that Davis-Besse 1 can
}
be safely operated in accordance with the requirements of the Atomic Energy i
Act of 1954 and the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended.
In this regard, you have listed several topics you believe should be considered by such a hearing.
i l
As you are undoubtedly aware, the nuclear portion of Davis-Besse I was designed by the Babcock and Wilcox Company (B&W) - which also designed the same basic portion of the two units at Three Mile Island. Because of this generic similarity (although there are some significant differences in the detailed designs of these units), the ' experience at Three Mile Island, Unit No. 2 has raised certain questions among our technical staff as to the capability of B&W-designed units to adequately respond to certain off-nomal plant conditions. We have communicated these concerns to the Toledo Edison Company and as a result they have agreed to complete certain short-term corrective actions prior to resuming operation following the present main-tenance outage, and to complete certain other corrective actions on a longer time scale.
In order that we may have an opportunity to determine the suitability and acceptability of the proposed short-term corrective actions the Commission s
has issue'd the enclosed Order. This Order requires Davis-Besse 1 to remain \\
shutdown untti we have confirmed that the actions specified in the Order have been taken, that the specified analyses are acceptable and that the specified implementing procedures are appropriate.
In addition,Section V of the Order states that within twentf (20) days of the date of the Order, the licensee oeL

(Toledo Edison Co.) or any person whose interest may be affected by the Order may request a heaging with respect to the Order.
Hearings on orders of this type are not scheduled unless the licensee or a member of the public.whose interest may be affected by the Order requests a hearing. Such requests should be submitted to the Secretary of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555 within twenty days of the date of issuance of the Order.
In the case of the Davis-Besse Order, that would be June 5,1979.
If I can be of further assistance, please contact me.
Sincerely 4 by vours.
