AUG 8 8 W Mr. Thomas Kuchenberg c/o Mrs. Marjorie Aamodt 200 North Church Street IN RESPONSE REFER Parkesburg, PA 19365 TO F01A-85-428

Dear Mr. Kuchenberg:

This is in final response to your letter dated June 10, 1985, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Infonnation Act (FOIA), (1) copies of documents related to the May 16, 1985, Comission Memorandum and Order (CLI-85-08) denying the January 15, 1985, Aamodt Motion for Reconsideration, and (2) a full transcript of the December 2 and 3,1980, interviews of Karl Plumlee by David Gamble.

The documents identified on enclosed Appendix C are being placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) located at 1717 H Street, NW, Washington, DC 20555, in file folder F01A-85-428 in your name.

The documents identified on enclosed Appendix D contain the predecisional analyses, opinions and recommendations of the Commissioners, and between the L Commissioners and their staffs, on the Aamodt motion requesting that the TMI-1 record be. reopened. Because the documents reflect.the predecisional process g of the Commissioners, and between the Comissioners' and their staffs, the documents are exempt from mandatory disclosure pursuant to Exemption 5 of the F0IA, 5 U.S.C. 5552(b)(5), and the Comission's regulations,10 CFR 59.5 (a)(5). Release of the documents would tend to inhibit the open and frank exchange of ideas essential to the deliberative process. The documents do not contain any reasonably segregable factual portions and are baing withheld in their entirety.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.15 of the Comission's regulations, it has been determined that the information withheld is exempt from production or disclosure and that its production or disclosure is contrary to the public interest. The person responsible for this denial is Mr. John C. Hoyle, Assistant Secretary of the Commission.
