Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555 Re: Freedom of Information request

Dear Sir or Madam:

I Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I would like copies of all documents relating to an investigation conducted by the Atomic Energy Commission's Region I Division of Compliance in the late 1960s of alleged irregularities connected with the construction of the primary loop for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Plant.

This investigation, e des rioeu in'a Sept. 27.1973, leder (enclosed) from Richard J. Sullivan, Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, to Commissioner William O. Doub of the AEC, was prompted by information provided to Dr. Roscoe Kandle, who then headed New Jersey Gov. Richard Hughes' Atomic Energy Council.

Kandle passed the information to Robert Kirkman, then director of the AEC's Region I Division of Compliance. Kirkman then investigated and substantiated the allegations, according to the letter.

No documents pertaining to this investigation were in the Oyster Creek file in the NRC Public Document Room in Washington, D.C., when I visited there on Jan. 20 of this year. My 1991 F0I A request which  !

sought Oyster Creek documents that were not in the PDR also did not yield any records of this investigation.

5 I need these records for a book I am writing on the history of General Public Utilities Corp., which owns Oyster Creek through its jersey Central Power & Light Co. subsidiary.

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I also request

" Representative of the News Media" status, which entitles me to a i waiver of search charges and 100 pages of free copying. This status is  !

also available to established freelance writers which I am. I am the l author of the book, UnseenDsmer:A TrggedyWArople, Government sadthe Centes//sXue/#4 published in 1986 by the University of l Pennsylvania Press, and have almost 20 years of experience as a l newspaper reporter. I have been working on my GPU book for the  ;

past six years.

Thank you for your attention to this request. i l

Sincerely f ,f David DeKok l
