'F ATHER JOHN GLISSEND AUER PROFE SSOR OF HiOLOGY SVSC January 9, 1984

Dear Senator Riegle,

Lone Tree Council has been concerned about the Midland Nuclear Plant for several years. As you aware, its future appears grim in terms of both economics and safety. While some might disagree with this statement, even advocates are not actively demonstrating support.

Given this background, we find it difficult to believe that the Nuclear Ragulatory Commission allows Consumers Power Company to inch closer, day-byday, to completion of this project. It is suspected that someone in the NRC's Division of Licensing or ~elsewhere in the Office of Nuclear Reactor Ragulation is withholding vitaly damaging information that should be made public.

Specifically, we are concerned that reports are being

" watered-down", edited, or not being released at all about Midland's Diesel Generator Building. We also do not under-stand the NRC's recent announcement about the crack in the Auxiliary B'ilding being acceptable. Could you please request explanations on these two items from the NRC?

Thank you, and Ilook forward to your reponse.
