This is a request for records under the Freedom of lnformatio11 Act ("FOIA"), 5 U.S.C. § 552. et seq. I request the following records, including any cross-referenced records and any ELSUR records:
All records regarding the homemade nuclear reactor in Commerce Township,. Michigan. It was dismantled on June, 26, 1995 by EPA.
I also request that fees be waived pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552(a}(4)(A)(iii), ("Documents shall be furnished witholllt any charge...
if disclosure of the information is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the requester."). Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(AXii)(II), I request that all fee, if my request for fee waiver is declined, be reasonable, as the documents are not sought for commercial purposes.
Please provide all applicable records, in electronic form, to:
