Dear Mr. Keppler:
l Subj ect : In the Matter of Texas Utilities Electric Company, et al. -
Application for an Operating License Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station Units 1 and 2 Docket No. 50-446 l 1
s Applicants' Request for Renewal of' l Construction Permit No. CPPR-127 ]
for Unit 2 )
CASE has received Applicants' 4/29/87 letter to the NRC Document Control Desk in which Applicants are seeking an extension'of the Construction Permit for Unit 2 of Comanche Peck. Although, in this instance, at least Applicants did not allow their Construction Permit for Unit 2 to actually j expire as they did for Unit 1, it is CASE's position that there exist the-same significant hazards considerations involved regarding Unit 2 as exist for Unit 1. Therefore, hearings must be held before the NRC Staff takes any action to renew the Construction Permit for Unit 2. We are currently in the process of preparing responses to interrogatories, but we will forward you additional, more detailed commento as soon as possible. In the meantime, we ref er you to the various pleadings and rulings by the ASLB (which is constituted of the same members as those who are hearing the CPA case), the Appeal Board, and the Commission, and in particular the Board Order admitting the CPA Contention for Unit 1; CASE believes that the same significant hazards considerations apply for Unit 2 as fer Unit 1, and that an identical contention would also be appropriate for Unit 2. (Expedition.
of the process could, of course, be accomplished by consolidation with the CPA proceedings on Unit 1.)

It appears that the NRC Director of the Comanche Peak Division of the OYfice ;
of Special Projects, Mr. Christopher Grimes, is a2 ready becoming aware of i some of the problems encountered in the design, construction, and QA/0C of l Comanche Peak through the years (see attached article from the 5/6/87 FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM). CASE is hopeful that the new Office of Special Cases will begin immediately to recognize and deal with the severe problems at Comanche Peak in a manner which is more appropriate and fit ting f or a regulatory body than has been the case regarding Comanche Peak for many years.
Sincerely, CASE (Citizens Association for Sound l Energy) l 1
