l Docket No. 50-155 Mr. David P. Hoffman Nuclear Licensing Administrator Consumers Power Company 212 West Michigan Avenue Jackson, Michigan 49201
Dear Mr. Hoffman:
Health Systems Division, Equifax is under contract (N0. NRC-01-79-010) to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC), to stucty the feasibility of performing epidemiologic studies on the health effects of exposure to low-level ionizing radiation. This stucty 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 project team.
Individuals who may be assigned to this task include:
Richard W. Clapp Emmy R. Friedlander Samuel J. Covino, Jr.
James R. Latham Nancy A. Dreyer Jeanne E. Loughlin Frederic H. Fahey Richard R. Monson James Watson Social security numbers for these individuals are included for identification purposes.
Information provided will be used to determine the adequacy of data upon which to make conclusions on feasibility and recommendations to the Congress. Equifax is not itself performing an epidemiologic stucty. 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.
l If you have any questions, please call the NRC technical monitor, Mr. Robert Goldsmith (301-443-5860).
Sincerely, A
NL Dennis L. Ziemann, Chief Operating Reactors Branch #2 l
