Note to Domenic Vassallo, Assistant Director for Light Water Reactors p
-7 Re: Buckling of Steel Containment Shells k
This is in response to your memorandum of September 28,.1978.
I still have a great deal of trouble understanding your basis for not inform-ing the Board. The question I have is fairly simply; that is, do we have information whid indicates that the techniques we have been
- f-using may not be adequate or may not be as conservative as they should be? If this is the nature of the information we have, we should r. '.
inform the Boards of that fact.
The fact that we do not believe there is yet a need to change our criteria or change our conclusions is not a justification.for not informing the Board.
We ought to inform the l'
p Boards of this newar information and of the b upon Which we con-clude that our existing criteria, standards o conclusic
. remain t'
adequate.
