Mr J G Keppler, Regional Administrator U S Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region III 799 Roosevelt Road Glen Ellyn, IL 60137 MIDLAND ENERGY CENTER GWO 7020 BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY REPORT CONCERNING WELDING PROGRAM ALLEGATIONS FILE 0505.2/0.4.2/UFI SERIAL 32225

REFERENCE:

(1) Charles Norelius letter to J W Cook, dated March 22, 1985 transmitting BNL Report on Welding Allegations, dated January 1985 Thank you for the BNL report on welding allegations attached to the referenced letter.

We are pleased to get a portion of the issues identified in the report closed.

We had been conducting detailed discussions prior to the project shutdown to support resolution of the issues. Technical resources are no longer available to further the investigation. For this reason we believe it impracticable to bring the remaining open issues to conclusion at this time. However, in the event of a Project restart we would pursue reinstituting a full technical investigation of all the issues still pending, as identified in your letter, and determine the most practical way to resolve them.

Therefore, we are taking no further action at this time on the apen issues other than entering them into our commitment tracking system. At the time of j Project restart we will bring specific suggestions to the NRC Staff for resolution of each item, such as utilizing the CCP or IDVP or other alternate solutions.
