JUL 2 3 1981 Fontana Area Chamber of Comerce 8610 Wheeler Avenue Fontana, California 92335 Gentlemen:
The June 11, 1981 resolution of the Fontana Area Chamber of Commierce, supporting the licensing of the San Onofre 2 and 3 nuclear power plants has been referred to me for reply.
I am pleased to provide the following inform-iation regarding nuclear power plant licensing in general, and licensing of San Onofre 2 and 3 in particular.
Currently, the overall picture is one of a licensing process that is returning to predictability at a considerably enhanced level of safety. However, the iopleientation of this enhanced level of safety has raised a nurber of potential new issues in the c3ntested nearings for both operating licenses and construction permits around the country.
Some of these units were substantially couplete at the time of the Three Mile Island accident or have been completed since then.
However, we are confident the actions we have taken since TMI 2 and those we will take will provide major improvements in licensing schedules without compromising the regulatory requirements for safety.
With regard to licensing of San Onofre Units 2 and 3, the staff has completed tne major part of its review. Staff safety evaluations were issued on December 31, 1980, February 6, 1981, February 25, 19§1, and Nay 8, 1981. The review of the San Onofre Units 2 and 3 by the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards was completed on Miarch 12, 1981.
The Final Environmental Statement was issued by the WRC staff in April, 1981.
The hearing on this project commenced on June 22, 1981.
We appreciate your interest in the San Onofre project. Please be assured that the WRC is taking every reasonable action to expedite the licensing process, consistent with our comitment to ensure the public health and safety.
