Docket Wo. 50-389 Gentlemen:

Enclosed for the information of the parties is a copy of SAND77-1927 entitled, "Transport of Radionuclides in Urban En'virons:

Working Draft Assessment" (NDA).

This is a preliminary report in the development by the NRC of a generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) on transportation of radionuclides in urban environs.

The general objectives of the GEIS are (1) to identify any unacceptable risk or hazard to public health and safety and (2) to'identify.promising alternatives whereby current levels of safety may be improved further.

The study is not intended, by itself, to support any specific rulemaking action or other regulatory activity.

Among the topics discussed in the WDA are; (1) sabotage of spent fuel

casks, discussed in Chapter 6, resulting in severe consequences (thousands of deaths, billions of do'1lars in damage) and (2) consequences of severe accidents in urban areas resulting in costs exceeding

$560 million.

Also enclosed for the information of the parties ore copies of Commission Information Reports, SECY-78-311, dated June 'l4, 1978 and SECY-78-311~1 dated November 9, 1978.

These information Reports indicate to the Commission the Staff's view of the impact of the t/DA on current regulatory policy.

As can be seen from these Commission papers, the NRC Staff has recommended that no imediate regulatory action is necessary to protect spent fuel shipment at this time.
