20555 FREEDOM OF INFORMA110N REQUEST
Dear Sir or Madam:
This is a request for information under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act as amended (5 U.S.C. 552).
I request a complete and thorough search of ell filing systems for all records or documents maintained by your agency concerning the SAFETEAM programs being used at several nuclear power plants.
SAFETEAM was developed in early 1983 at Detroit Edison's Fermi 2 nuclear plant to provide a forum for construction workers to express concerns about the quality of construction. Since then, the SAFETEAM program has been marketed to other nuclear utilities by an Edison subsidiary. This subsidiary was originally named Utility Technical Services, Inc., but was renamed Syndeco, Inc.
Besides Fermi 2, I know the program has been implemented at the Clinton plant owned by Illinois Power Co. ; Salem-2, owned by the Public Service l
Electric & Gas Co. ; the South Texas Project, owned by Houston Lighting &
l Power Co. ; and Comanche Peak, owned by the Texas Electric Utilities Co.
It also might be used by Public Service Electric & Gas Company's Hope Creek-1 plant.
I request copies of all documents concerning the SAFETEAM program at I
the listed plants. These documents include, but are not limited to, inspection 1
reports, notices of violation, correspondence with Detroit Edison or its l
subsidiaries about SAFETEAM, and internal NRC documents concerning SAFETEAM.
i I am making this request in my capacity as a reporter for WTOL-TV.
I hope to use the requested information for a news story.
j i
If documents are denied in part or in whole, please specify which exemption (s) is (are) claimed for each passage or whole document denied.
Please provide a complete itemized inventory and a detailed factual 4
justification of total or partial denial of documents. Specify the number of pages in each document ard the total number of pages pertaining to this request.
If there are any fees for searching for, or copying, the records I have requested, please supply the records without informing me if the fees do not exceed $50.00.

Tr'ee om of Information Of ficer Page 2 As you know, the Act permits you to reduce or waive the fees "if disclos re of the information is in the public interest because it is likely to contribu:e significantly to public understanding cf the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the reques ter."
I believe that my request fits this category, and I therefore ask that you waive any fees.
I would appreciate your handling this request as quickly as possible, and 1 look forward to hearing from you within 10 working days, as the law stipulates.
Sincerely, Bruce Maxwell Reporter 4
