Draft Geners Letter Matt:
I believe the attached may be your first public comment on the proposed generic letter on Year 2000.
Snyder ' akey is a lawyer who previously submitted a FulA request ."or information on our Year 2000 program. ic sent the attached electronic mail within an hour of the time I posted the announcement on our Y2K list server, I asked hin. if he intended to send the email (1) to me personally, (2) to the NRC Y2K list server (and sent it to me by mistake), or (3) he wanted it to be considered a comment on the Generic letter,1le told me his original intent was (1) but he would go along with (3) if we would take it.
By copy of this message, I am forwarding his message to the Rules and Directives 11 ranch. David Meyer may accept it as a legitimate comment.

NRC Letter
Dear John,
it is great to see the NRC is finally going to ask the Utilities the status of their Year 2000 proiects. I have helped a client purchase an MRI from Siemans late last year. Siemans acknowledged its brand new, nearly anillion dollar MRI was not compliant, and that they would not be able to make it compliant until the middle or end of 1998.
The blanket assertion made by the utilities that across dozens of different systems at dozens of plants built at different times using different manufacturers parts, etc, that y2k "was not a problem in safety related systems" is almost assuredly wrong. Everywhere everyone looks into the problem, they fmd it in some form or another. The question everywhere else is not whether it is a problem, but how big a problem it is. This is almost assuredly the case with respect to safety systems as well.
After the utilities do the work, if they find it to be true, they can make the statement. Any statement which is made before doing the work is reckless.
Ilest regards, F. Snyder Gokey Vogel Law Firm
