Mr. Lanny Alan Sinkin Citizens Concerned About Nuclear Power, Inc.

Christic Institute 1324 North Capitol Street, N.W.

Washington, D.C. 20002 l

Dear Mr. Sinkin:

By motion filed with the Commission dated May 29, 1987 entitled, "Intervenor Citizens Concerned About Nuclear Power, Inc. Motion to Reopen the Record,"

you requested that the record in the South Texas Nuclear Plant (STNP) licensing .

hearing be reopened and that fuel loading then scheduled for June 1987 be {

suspended pending resolution of the matters in your motion. You assert that the Licensing Board decisions with regard to STNP should be altered. Your motion asserts that, based on the April 9, 1987 testimony of NRC witnesses l before the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, there is evidence of 1 intimidation and harassment of NRC personnel in Region IV which sheds doubt on the credibility, accuracy, and objectivity of the testimony presented by NRC personnel in the operating license proceeding on which the Licensing Board relied in reaching its decision. ,

By Memorandum and Order dated July 24, 1987, the Commission denied the request for the stay of fuel loading and referred the remainder of your motion to the l staff for consideration under 10 CFR 2.206. As provided by Section 2.206, action will be taken upon your request within a reasonable time. I have enclosed for your information a copy of the notice that is being filed with the Office of the Federal Register for publication.
