Laird, of your staff, was advised of the information as it became available to NRC Region III.
We request that you initiate and/or continue an investigation in order to fully analyze these allegations.

The enclosure to this letter should be strictly controlled and distribution limited to personnel with a "need-to-know." The enclosure to this letter is considered as Exempt from Public Disclosure in accordance with Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 2.790(a).
