March 4, 1980 Docket No. 50-219 Mr. I. R. Fi nf rock, J r.
Vice President - Generation Jersey Central Power & Light Company Madison Avenue at Punch Bowl Road Morristown, New Jersey 07960
Dear Mr. Finfrock:
Health Systems Division, Equifax is under contract (N0. NRC-01-79-010) to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Conmission (NRC), to study the feasibility of perforring epidemiologic studies on the health effects of exposure to low-level ionizing radiation. This study was mandated by the Congress of the United States in Public Law 95-601.
Information concerning data relevant to epidemiologic studies will be solicited by one or more individuals from Equifax's pro.iect team.
Individuals who may be assigned to this task include:
Richard W. Clapp Enuqy R. Friedlander Samuel J. Covino, Jr.
James R. Lathan, Nancy A. Dreyer Jeanne E. Loughlin Frederic H. Fahey Richard R. Monson James Watson Social security numbers for these individuals are included for identification pu rposes.
Information provided will be used to determine the adequacy of data upon which to make c.;nclusions on feasibility and recommendations to the Congress.
Equifax is not itself performing an epidemiologic study. What is needed is the types and detail of the data recorded and information on how they are obtained.
(See enclosed forms for the type of information required.) No personal identifiers are required. Questions will be asked to determine the quality of the data.
Any information considered proprietary will be maintained confidential by Equifax.
Your cooperation in this effort will be appreciated, and will help ensure that the results are useful to the Congress, the industry, and the NRC.
If you have any questions, please call the NRC technical monitor, Mr. Robert Goldsmith (301-443-5860).
Sincerely, WMffh 4 Dennis L. Ziemann, Chief 1
