Ms. Shirley J. Johns Route #1, Box 88 Ellsworth, Michigan 49729 Dear Ms. Bier and Ms. Johnsi This letter is in response to your petitions dated Novent)er 4,1979 and January 6,1980 requesting that the Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation issue an order to Consumers Power Cocpany to delay restart of the Big Rock Point Plant pending resolution of certain concerns considered by you to be safety issues.
As stated in our letter dated December 4,1979, the petitions were not received before restart of the plant. Consequently, the petitions have been treated as a request for an order to show cause why Facility Operating License No. DPR-6 for the Big Rock Point Plant should not be suspended pending resolution of the issues you raised.
By letter dated March 5,1980 we issued a Safety Assessment relating to these concerns and concluded that there was sufficient assurance of safety to per-l mit the plant to continue operating, pending final disposition of the issues raised.
Based on the evaluation contained in the Safety Assessment we advised you that there was no need for emergency actions.
By letter dated Artil 14, 1980, the Acting Secretary of the Comission issued a statement related to the Comission's review of our March 5,1980 Assessment. That stateiaent indicated that the Comission was taking no action with respect to y decision of March 5, 1980.
l l
Your petitions ~ nave been considered under the provisions of 10 CFR Section 2.206 l
of the Comission's regulations. This office has determined, for reasons set forth in the enclosed " Director's Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206," not to issue an order to show cause why Facility Operating License DPR-6 for Consumers Power Conpany's Big Rock Point Plant should not be suspended.
