Dear Janice:
The NRC Staff served the Licensing Board and the parties with a copy of a letter dated June 6, 1980 from Dennis M.
Crutchfield to David P.
Hoffman of Consumers Power Company.
An attachment to that letter addressed i
several SEP issues, including the flight of military air-craft near the plant (see page 7).
This evaluation by the NRC Staff is directly appli-cable to O'Neill contention IID, which states:
The licensee has not adequately provided for the protection of the public against the increased release of radioactivity from the expanded fuel pool as a result of the breach of the containment due to the crash of a 3-52 bomber.
Therefore, would you kindly furnish me copies of references (12), (13) and (14) noted on page 7 of the Staff's evaluation.
I~ assume reference (12) includes the Air Force's probability analysis.
If it does not, please furnish a copy of that analysis.
If references (13) and (14) were oral communica-tions, please furnish me with copies of the minutes of such conversations.
Finally, I would greatly appreciate receiv-ing copies of any other correspondence, documents or other writings pertinent to this matter which the Staff may have in its custody or control.

- - As I understand the Staff's evaluation, it agrees with the Air Force that the prgbability of a crash at the plant is approximately 1 x 10-per year, and therefore it is proper to exclude a military aircraft accident from the design basis for the Big Rock Point Plant.
It is my fur-ther understanding that the Staff's judgment in this regard is based on a general policy determination that any acci-dent scenario with the probability of occurrence of 1 x 10-6 or less need not be considered within the reactor design basis.
It would clarify matters greatly if you could con-firm these understandings.
Please call if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
/
