MAY 1 8 1961 Mr. J. S. Abel We urge you to pay particular attention to the area of equipment qualification since this appears to be one of the more significant outstanding review areas.

In order to ensure meeting your projected fuel loading date, it is imperative that all of the required information be provided to us by July 10, 1981.
