20555 re FREEDOM of INFO RM ATION ACT REQUEST Dear Mr. Fraleys Your attention is invited to the Freedom of Information Act (5 USC 552), as amended, and to implementing Nuclear Regulatory Commission instructions and regulations.

Under provisions of the above cited authority and in connection with your responsibilities to review and report on nuclear reactor safety matters, it is requested that we be provided with copies of the foll-owing documents:

1.

Any studies, reports, assessments, evaluations, recommendations or similar written documents prepared by your office or in the poss-ession of your office, or any office under your jurisdiction, pertain-ing to any safety issue, actual or hypothetical, at any of the nine nuclear reactors at Aiken, S.C.,

Oak Ridge, Tenn., Platteville, Colo.,

Idaho Falls, Idaho, and Hanford, Wash., which include similar design characteristics to the Chernobyl nucicar power reactors in northwest-ern Ukrainian S.S.R.

2.

Any summary listing of accidents which have occurred at the nine nuclear reactors listed in No. 1 above.

This is not a request for documents pertaining to each accident, but simply any single doc-ument, or computer printout, which lists all accidents in summary form which may be in your possession.

3.

Any assessment of potential contamination, up to and including worst-case scenario, of radiation leakage from one or more of the nine nuclear reactors listed in No. 1 above which may have been prepared by or is in the possession of your office.

4.

Any assessment prepared by or in the possession of your office of the potential contamination or hazardous effects, whether biologi-cal or ecological, national or international in scope, of the Chernobyl l

accident.

This includes tentative or preliminary evalua* ions and ass-essments.

If any of the requested documents are classified in the interest of national security or foreign policy, it is requested that they be considered for release through a declassification review but that such process not delay release of other unclassified documents em-bodied in this request.

Because of the public interest in the subject, it is requested that

- this request be given expedited handling.

We are willing to provide reimbursement for reproduction costs or other reasonable fees, but request a waiver of all fees, under NRC guidelines, since the documents are requested in connection with re-search for articles for the Dallas Times Herald, a general circula-tion daily newspaper, and their release will primarily benefit the general public.
