i AUG 7 1985 Christopher Brewster, Esquire Kaye, Scholer, Fierman, Hays & Handler IN RESPONSE REFER 1575 Eye Street, NW T0'F01A-83-738, F01A-83-788, Washington, DC 20005 AND F01A-83-789
Dear Mr. Brewster:
This is in further response to letters dated December 12 and 27, 1983, from Mr. Thomas Madden formerly of your law firm in which he requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (F0IA), various categories of records regarding reactor coolant systems of certain nuclear power plants, particularly the Three Mile Island (TMI) plant. This confirms information conveyed during recent telephone conversations between you and Linda Robinson.
Following receipt of these F0IA requests from Mr. Madden, the NRC provided partial re:;ponses to the requests but was unable to fully respond for various reasons, including a then current grand jury investigation of Mr. Hartman's allegations concerning TMI. Subsequent to the partial responses provided to Mr. Madden's requests and the present time, the staff identified additional records, listed on the enclosed appendix, which are subject to these requests and which are available for public inspection and copying at the NRC's Public Document Room.
Recently, the remaining records pending further review, and two boxes of additional records subject to a subsequent, related F0IA request, F01A-85-194, were withheld from disclosure in response to F01A-85-194 on the basis that disclosure of the records would interfere with an ongoing enforcement action.
Copies of that request and NRC's response are enclosed for your information.
This completes NRC's action on these F0IA requests.
