Nuclear Regulatory Commission On-Site Inspectors Susquehanna Steam Electric Station P. O. Box 52 Shickshinny, Fa. 18655

Dear Sir:

I an one of the coordinators of the Susquehanna Environ-mental Advocates. We have received reports from people currently.

or formerly enployed at the SSES cencerning questionable con-struction practices or existing defects at the plant. We have been and are very concerned about the safety of the plant.

I am writing to ask you to investigate two of the reports we have received and to nake your findings public.

We were informed that the reactor vessel head or cap was improperly installed. Specifically, it was not placed in exactly the right position, bolts were bent and that the equip-cent should have been replaced but, because of the time and expense involved, it has not been.

i Secondly, we were informed that a large concrete pipe, i built to carry water from the reactor to the cooling tower, l had very large holes in it after the concrete pouring forms were removed, and that these holes were merely patched.

i The reactor vessel is a crit 3 cal piece of safety-related equipment. If it was improperly built or assembled, we think the people of this area should be told and the utility should do the job right.

I Sincerely, t c l G. 2 -

Gerald R... Schul.2, Esq.
