Mr. Willia] decamp, Jr. December 11, W 6 Oyster Cre:k Nuclear Watch P.O. Box 243 Island Heights, NJ 08732

Dear Mr. decamp:

I am responding to the Petitions filed pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Reaulations, Section 2.206 (10 CFR 2.206), on May 11 and June 14, 1996, on behalf of Oyster Creek Nuclear Watch. In your Petitions you asked that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) investigate and require the correction by GPU Nuclear of a highly inaccurate public statement in the

" Neighborhood Update," and purportedly false public testimony given by the 2

management of GPU Nuclear, and take appropriate disciplinary action.

Your Petitions were referred to me pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206 of the Comission's regulations. The NRC staff investigated the statements and

testimony as requested by the Petitions and concluded that the assertions of in the Petition are without merit.

For the reasons given in the enclosed Director's Decision (D9-96 22), the Petitions are denied. A copy of the decision will be filed with the Secretary

of the Comission for the Comission to review in accordance with 10 CFR 2.206(c). As provided by that regulation, the decision will constitute the final action of the Comission 25 days after the date it is issued unless the 1

Comission, on its own motion, institutes a review of the decision within that time.

I have also enclosed a copy of the notice of this Director's Decision that is being filed with the Office of the Federal Register for publication.

Sincerely, original signed by l
