2.
the capital investment necessary to correct the technical and engineering problems at the Browns Ferry and Sequoyah reactors.
3.
the expected annual costs for operating and maintenance at the Browns Ferry and Sequoyah reactors over the remaining lifetime of these reactors, if they resume operating, including fuel costs.
4.
the expected annual costs for capital improvements at the Browns Ferry and Sequoyah reactors over the remaining lifetime of these reactors, if they resume operating.

Public Citizen's Critical Mass Energy Project is a nationally known non-profit public interest organization founded in 1974.
As part of our work we publish numerous reports concerning nuclear power and the economics of operating nuclear plants.
Public Citizen is currently researching a paper which will examine the economic impacts of phasing out nuclear power.
Public Citizen will use these documents in this report, and we will disseminate and. distribute the information contained therein to the press and public.
Public Citizen has released several studies in the past concerning nuclear economics and these reports have attracted attention in the national, local, and trade media. Thousands of copies of these reports have been sold or distributed to members of the public, industry, and citizen groups.
Since furnishing these documents "can be considered as primarily benefitting the general public," we request a complete waiver of any processing or duplicating costs you might incur in providing these records to us under the provisions of 10 C.F.R. S 9 and 14(a).
If you j
rule otherwise, please notify us before filling the request.

Hence, no provisions of the Privacy Act should be deemed epplicable.
~,..s If all or any parts of this request are denied, please cite the specific exemptions (s) on which you rely in refusing to release the documents.
Further, since the Freedom of Information Act provides that if only portions of a file are exempt from release, the remainder must be released, we request that we be provided with all non-exempt portions which are reasonably segregable.
Of course, we reserve our right to appeal the withholding or deletion of any information.
As provided in the Freedom of Information Act, we will expect to receive the requested records or a final determination within ten working days.

If you have any questions about this request, please telephone me at (202) 546-4996.
Thank you for your help.
