Dear Mr. Kehoe:
I am responding to your letter dated August 12, 1987, addressed to Chairman Lando Zech. In that letter you requested that the Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) hold a hearing in the Sacramento area to address the design flaws in each of the five specific systems that were identified in the Union of Concerned Scientists' petition, and the ability of the NRC to evaluate and assess the level of danger inherent in the continued operation of Babcock and Wilcox-designed plants. l The petition to which you referred was submitted by the Union of Concerned Scientists on February 10, 1987 pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206. The petition was then referred to the NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation for appropriate action, in accordance with usual Commission practice. The petition requested the Comission to (1) require all utilities operating or building nuclear power reactors designed by B&W to modify (their nuclear generating facilities 2) hol to correct alleged safety deficiencies; ciency of these modifications to correct the alleged deficiencies; and (3) revoke the operating license or construction pennit of an utility that does not meet the proposed requirements that emerge from (1) and (y) above. 2 In addition, the petition requested that NRC imediately suspend the operating licenses and construction permits of any utility operating or building nuclear power reactors designed by B&W. By letter dated March 13, 1987, the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, informed the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) that the concerns expressed in the petition did not warrant immediate suspension of the operating licenses and construction permits in question. The NRC staff is continuing to review the petition, and a formal decision on the requests stated in the petition is scheduled to be issued in the near future. The staff's decision will be subject to the Commission's review. The NRC staff has reviewed your requests and de P rmined that the issues are the same as those contained in the UCS petition. Jhen the NRC staff's response to the UCS petition is issued, you will be sent a copy. I trust the NRC staff's response to the UCS petition will adequately address your concerns. 8709240100 870916 Sincerely, DR TOPRP EMVD Thomas E. Murley, D to Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

Union'of Concerned Scientists'et. al., to request a public adjudicatory hearing in Sacramento to determine whether modifications made to nuclear j power reactors designed by Babcock.and Wilcox are sufficient' i to warrant-their continued operation. j 1 Because of the seriousness of the December 26, 1985 accident j at. Rancho Seco (violation of pressurized thermal shock limits, damage to plant equipment, and inability to manually control' plant systems) we believe it is clearly in the public interest i that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission hold a hearing'in-the-Sacramento area. I The scope of the heating should address design flaws in each. of the five specific systems which are ' identified:in'the Union of Concerned Scientists' petition, as.well as the issue of the technical ability of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to evaluate and assess the level of danger' inherent in the continued' operation i of Babcock and Wilcox designed plants. We would appreciate your consideration of our request and your a timely response back in this regard. i
