On Monday, January 29, 1979, the plant manager received a letter demanding
$100,000 for the return of the material purported to be stolen and which set a deadline of February 1,1979, for delivery of the coney. During the course of the week, the FBI conducted an intensive investigation leading to the arrest on February 1, 1979, of a temporary e=ployee of a General Electric subcontractor.

Inquiries are continuing in an effort to determine the cethod used by the individual to remove the material from the plant.

No action is requested of you and no written response to this Information Notice is required.
If you desire additional infor=ation regarding this matter, contact the Director of the appropriate NRC Regional Office.
