number represents the total of both the significant and insignificant Region III personnel informed each of the callers that the 1,400 problems that the licensee, Toledo Edison Company, has found during the course of their reinspection of safety related cables. The callers, who were principally news personnel, were informed that the original NRC inspection that identified the safety related cable deficiencies was per-formed in May 1975 and that our subsequent inspections have confirmed that the licensee was not only correcting the problems, but was also con-ducting a reinspection which would not be completed for several more weeks.
NRC personnel will continue to perform followup inspections of the electrical problems. No further action beyond the previously scheduled insepctions and responding to the inquirers is planned.
This PN was originated by Region III because numerous phone calls from news media were received the morning of March 18, 1976.
