'M !. h I gv.....f December 7, 1979 Docket No. 50-29 Mr. Robert H. Groce Licensing Engineer Yankee Atomic Electric Company 20 Turnpike Road Westboro, Massachusetts 01581

Dear Mr. Groce:

Health Systems Division, Equifax is under contract (No. NRC-01-79-010) to

~

the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), to study the feasibility of performing epidemiologic studies on the health effects of exposure to low-level ionizing radiation. This study was mandated by the Congress of the United States in Public Law 95-601.

Information concerning data relevant to epidemiologic studies will be solicited by one or more individuals from Equifax's project team.

Individuals who may be assigned to this task include:

Richard W. Clapp Frederic H. Fahey Samuel J. Covino, Jr.

James R. Latham Nancy A. Dreyer Jeanne E. Loughlin Richard R. Monson Social security numbers for these individuals are included for identification purposes.

Information provided will be used to determine the adequacy of data upon which to make conclusions on feasibility and recommendations to the Congress.

Equifax is not itself perfonning an epidemiologic study. What is needed is the types and detail of the data recorded and information on how they are obtained. No personal identifiers are required. Certain questions will be directed so that judgements can be made about the quality of the data. Any information considered proprietary will be maintained confidential by Equifax.

Your cooperation in this effort is appreciated, and will help ensure that the results are useful to the Congress, the industr. and the NRC.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call the NRC technical monitor, Mr. Robert Goldsmith (301-443-5860).

Sincerel,
