TO ALL POWER REACTOR APPLICANTS AND LICENSEES 

Gentlemen: 

Enclosed with this letter is a Commission Memorandum and Order dated May 27,
1980. The Order contains decisions on the Union of Concerned Scientists 
(UCS) petition of May 2, 1978 for reconsideration of a previous Memorandum 
and Order dated April 13, 1978. The April 13, 1978 Order responded to the 
UCS original petition of November 4, 1977. This petition sought action in 
two areas: fire protection for electrical cables, and environmental 
qualification of electrical components. 

This Memorandum and Order is provided for your information. In the near 
future, you will be provided with further guidance and requirements to 
implement the decisions contained in the order. 

                                        Sincerely, 


                                        Darrell G. Eisenhut, Director 
                                        Division of Licensing
