January 29, 1980 Mr. Richard Fouke Citizeus for Fair Utility Regulation (CFUR) 1668-B Carter Drive Arlington, TX 76010 in the Matter of Texas Utilities Gener ating Company, et al.

(Comanche Peak Steam Elec'.ric Station, Units 1 and 2)

Docket Nos. 50-445 and 50-446

Dear Mr. Fouke:

In your request for information and documents dated August 25, 1979, you requested several reports which, as our response stated, had not yet been issued.

In particular, you requested reports related to the NRC staff deternination on whether the March 28, 1979, accident at Three Mile Island (TMI)-2 constitutes an " extraordinary nuclear occurrence" (ENO), as defined by the Commission's regulations, 10 CFR Part 140, 99 140.84 and 140.85.

You also requested reports of the NRC Special Inquiry Group investigating the TMI-2 accident.

These reports have recently been issued.

A Federal Register notice of January 4, 1980, (45 Fed. Reg.1180) announced that the panel making the determination on whether TMI-2 constitutes an "ENO" has completed its investigation, evaluation and anlaysis.

The findings of the panel are con-tained in NUREG-0637, " Report to the Nuclear Regulatory Comnission from the Staff Panel on the Commission's Determination of an Extraordinary Nuclear Occurrence (ENO)." Copies of the Federal Register notice and NUREG-0637 are enclosed.

On January 24, 1980, the NRC Special Inquiry Group issued "A Report To The Commissioners and To The Public." We understand that this report will be made available to you and all parties in NRC adjudicatory proceedings as part of a " Board Notification." If this is not the case, we will provide you with a copy of the report.

Sincerely, N
