ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Lewis College of Science and Letters Department of Mathematics February 20, 1987 The lionorable Lando Zech, Chairman US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 lionorable Sir:

I wrote to you in early November, 1986. With regret, I must remark that I have not received a technical answer.

I am enclosing materials which have been examined by your Legal Counsel to see if they interfere with the lawsuits the agency is currently defending. Your Counsel found no such interference and returned the materials for direct mailing to you.

Please notice that I 'am enclosing a newly discovered description of the fraudulent Zion Leak Rate Computer program. It contains an option,. contrary to Appendix J to 10 CFR, for a fraudulent substitution of the real data by something else.

A number of deficient and fraudulent tests (Zion) have been conducted in Illinois and in other States on an exemption basis. Fraudulent computer programs were extensively used in violation of Appendix J to 10 CFR, Part 50 (LaSalle, Byron, Zion).

A relief has been granted to the citizens of Illinois in the form of a cold shutdown of the Zion Plant for repair and retesting of its containment system in 1984, llowever, the test of 1984 was conducted with severe violations of Appendix J to 10 CFR. The same fraudulent computer program apparently was used.

A technical evidence of fraud was presented to Bernero more than a year ago. I insist that the complete investigation of Rehm-Bernero's affair be initiated. 10 CFR does not allow operation of nuclear facilities whose Icak rate has not been determined in accordance with Appendix J thereto and plant technical specifications. A cover-up of deficient and/or fraudulent tests is a felony.

Sincerely, b} .)
