Dear Mr. Ferguson:

I appreciate your comments regarding the regulatory process and share your concerns on any unnecessary reevaluation and the cost estimates included in your letter and the impact of excessive regulatory demands on utilities.

Let me state that it is our intention to try to close out all siting issues at the CP stage.

Me must recognize, however, that if. significant new information regarding a siting issue should develop between the CP and the OL review, the effect of that new information must be evaluated.

With regard to MNP-2 and the related siting issues, while that issue is nearing resolution I have asked op staff to arrange a meeting with you to discuss this matter.

This meeting is being arranged through Dr.

G.

D. Bouchey.

on PCheck BSnyder I am pleased to respond to your letter dated June ll, 1982, to Chairman Palladino in which you expressed concerns about the staff review of siting issues that were resolved during construction permit proceedings.

You believe that these issues are being unnecessarily reevaluated as part of operating license reviews, citing the OL review of the MNP-2 seismic design basis.

Sincerely, Originei Sighted gy fL it. Denton Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation 8208040i75 8207i5 PDR ADOCK 05000397 A
