Dear Mr. Martin:

Inner uant

thutoutnut d r

mrtcal We have been developing the substance of our concerns about

ttse tant the effectiveness of the NRC Region IV Investigation and Allegation

.E *'UD office in regard to the manner in which past complaints about midant Arkansas Nuc1 car One plant operation and public safety issues have i uan been handled, and are now prepared to respond to your request to  ;

I Gda " provide you with specifics" about these complaints. j tw ,14's kuai These allegations cover a broad spectrum of radioactive hazards 4 tw o rmfe and a profound lack of confidence in the public regulatory function 7"i"'"""C in protecting the health and safety of the plant workers and the 3% community. We feel they are extremely important matters that should o ntty be dealt with promptly and thoroughly.

opdmuan

[" " "" The only method we can devise to properly air these complaints l Iwer twi in to ask the NRC staff representatives to hear these items at a t St==iGasd1 meeting we will arrange with a num"acr of former long-time ANO plant j gg unintenance workers, their trade tenfon representatives, hopefully m2 ,i a representative of the Arkansas Governor's office and the Arkansas n.ra State ilea l t h Department, and a few members of our group. No media -

1 Gdnik would be present, and every effort would be made to ensure the full ,

U. b disclosure of all of the problems in a fair and responsible manner, j lhh Since many of these men are now working at other jobs, some even out-of-state, we would prefer a Monday morning or Saturday ,

Ain g,,,

Liue for thin meeting, in Russellville, but we have been assured l l

• that some of these men, at least, will be present at this meeting t i k g**"' at whatever time it is scheduled. l Ibitry l nuxt This in a matter of importance to us, and we hope this meeting 1

can be arranged within the next 30 days. Thank you for your con- l If you need any further information, we  ;

l(j sideration of this request.

will attempt to furninh it.
