  • %...../ APR 2 61985 Robert R. Belair, Esquire Kirkpatrick & Lockhart 1900 M Street, NW IN RESPONSE REFER Washington, DC 20036 TO F01A-85-199

Dear Mr. Belair:

This is in response to your letter dated March 20, 1985, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (F0IA), copies of documents related to severe accident source term data.

The documents identified on enclosed Appendix A are being placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) located at 1717 H Street, NW, Washington, DC 20555, ,

in file folder F01A-85-199 in your name. The documents identified on enclosed Appendix B are already available in the PDR. I have indicated the file location beside each document description.

The documents identified on enclosed Appendix C contain the predecisional legal analyses, opinions and recommendations of the Office of the General Counsel (0GC) and the Office of Policy Evaluation (OPE) for the Commissioners' consideration of the immediate effectiveness review of the October 29, 1984 Licensing Board order authorizing the grant of exemption from GDC-17 for low-power testing of the Shoreham facility, and for the Comissioners' consideration of the petition for review of ALAB-788 regarding the Shorehan facility. Because these documents reflect the predecisional process between 0GC, OPE and the Commissioners, the dccuments are exempt from mandatory disclosure pursuant to Exemption 5 of-the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C.

552(b)(5), anc' the Commissien's regulations,10 CFR 9.5(a)(5). Release of the documents would tend to inhibit the open and frank excharge of ideas essential to the deliberative process. The documents do not contain any reasonably segregable factual p'rtions. The documents are being withheld in their entirety.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.15 of the Comission's regulations, it has been determined that the information withheld is exempt from production or disclosure and that its production or disclosure is contrary to the public interest. The person responsible for this denial is James A. Fitzgerald, Assistant General Counsel.

This denial may be appealed to the Commission within 30 days from the receipt of this letter. Any such appeal must be in writing, addressed to the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, and should clearly state on the envelope and in the letter that it is an " Appeal from an Initial F0IA Decision."
