o o Q

O March 25, 1980 515 West Point Avenue University City, Missouri 63130 Office of public Information U.S. Nuclear Reg. Comm.

Washington, D.C. 20555 To Whom it May Concern:

May I please have a copy of the report of NRC staff of-ficials released to the Commission March 21, 1980, regarding the potential for explosion of the Vermont Yankee and Georgia Hatch containment buildings? Also, would you please explain how "the' Mark f containment structures on boiling water reac-tors made by General Electric Co. were rendered inert with nitrogen years ago" (as per a UPI story in the St. Louis Post Dispatch on March 20, 1980)?

Is the additional nitrogen in a location where it is sub-Jected to neutron bombardment--and if so, has this caused an increase in the presence of nitrogen-14 in the coolant and therefore in the formation of carbon-14? If so, by approxi-mately how many curies per year?

Where were the changes made at the 18 other reactors with Mark I containments?

Your response will be appreciated.

Sincerely, Mrs. Leo A. Drey (Kay) l scoss90l96 N
