Dear Ms. Toms:

This is in continuing communication regarding our February 14, 1983 request for information on behalf of our client, Mr. E. Earl Kent. In conversation with you on March 8 and again today you indicated that the NRC personnel that you contacted regarding my request were not aware of any "stop-work order" issued to the Midland Nuclear Power Plant in or around July 1982.

In reviewing the appropriate documents, please recontact the Inspection and Enforcement (I&E) personnel who were involved with implementition of the May 3, 1982 "stop-work order" issued by the atomic Safety and Licensing Board as a result of serious discrepancies with Quality Assurance implementation in the soils remedial work. Specifically, we request copies of any and all agency records and information, including but not limited to notes, letters, memoranda, draf ts, minutes, diaries, logs, calendars, tapes, transcripts, summaries, interview reports, procedures, instructions, engineering analyses, drawings, files, graphs, charts, maps, photographs, agreements, handwritten notes, studies, data sheets, notebooks, books, telephone messages, computations, voice recordings, any other data compilations, interim and/or final reports, status reports, and any and all other records relevant to and/or generated in connection with NRC I&E inspections and evaluations o( Consumers construction activities on the soils work that led to the "Spessard" meno.

Include in this request all of the above information related to the resolution of the issues raised in the "Spessard" memo. In particular, we request copies of any inspection evaluation forms and staf f comments in the period of March through August 13, 1982. , _

I hope that the above information will clarify my February 14 request.

I look forward to your response to this request within ten days.
