APR 2 51979 NEMCRANDUM FOR:

Thomas F., Carter, Jr., Deputy Director Division of Fuel Cycle and Material Safety

SUBJECT:

ASSESSMENT OF RESOURCE I" PACT RELATED TO TliREE-MILE ISLAND Fuel Cycle has initiated a planning effort to develop the capabilit'f to adequately deal with FC's energency preparedness and incident respcase responsibilities (reference Manual Chapter 0502-I-B-4.f).

This planning effort is scheduled for conpletion la Say 1979. Only prelininary estinates af FC resources associated with revised progran planning as a result of TMI are now available, pending the completion of our curre.it planning effort.

FY1979 Follow-on Effort:

a.

Reprogranning

'le plan to expend approximately 21/2 MY of effort (five reocle for six months) on emergency preparedness and incident resaonse planning and ir.plementation through the balance of FY1979.

This effort will likely be accomplished by recrogranning about four personnel to this activity for a six ncnths ceriod (2 nn-yr).

R. S. Brcwn, Jr. -

(1) Perform Broad Generic Environmental Inpact Statements and

. Surveys - Update WASH-1248 and Table S-3 (2) Perform Specific Fuel Cycle Studies in Support of National Policy and URC Regulatory Responsibilities - INFCE,iiASAP, etc.

(3)

Refine the Technological Base Through Use of Confirmatory Research and Standards Efforts (4)

Improve the Efficiency and Effectiveness of the Licensing Process - Review Regulations and Procedures for the Front End of the Fuel Cycle Since the actual resources to be allocated to this program are uncer tn, it is rot possible to be completely definitive as to the affected programs. At this time it appears likely that sone or all of the above major objectives may be impacted to sone degree.

To the extent practical, it would be our intent to limit tne effects to a deferral of about six months in objectives 3 and 4.

However, some of the people currently assigned to the planning effort may also be required for the ongoing work and their involvement could also cause delays in accomplishment of objectives 1 and 2.

b.

Supplemental (1) Manpower (a) Emergency preparedness and incident response planning and implementation will require an additional 1/2 MY of effort (one person for six months) not available from reprogramming for the balance of FY1979.

(b) PERSC0"SEN, to be supplied by PSB.

(2) Travel, current estimate is $6,000 of travel expense for the balance of FY1979 (3) Administrative Support, to be deternined (4) Program Supoort, to be determined (5) Equiprent, probably none required 6 ^z

(1) Manpower (a)

Four !W of effort in addition to the continued deferral of.two fiY from FY1979 will ~be required through FY19G0 to develop and maintain an adequate FC energency preparedness and incident response capability. This deferral, assuning that it can be limited in impact to major objectives 3 and 4, will add an additional six months impact to those major o'ojectives of 0&T for a projected total deferral of one year in these activities.

(b) PERSCOMBEti, to be supplied by PSB.

Less possible reprograming of planned FY1980 effcrts to offset requirements of 3.a. and b.

(1) Manpower (a) All planned effort on OST Major Objectives 3 and 4 could be deferred to reprogram 2 and 3 !!Y respectively. This alternative would stop the functions of these objectives effectively for a period of about 18 months between now and FY1931.

In addition,1/2 MY of effort could be reprogramed from the planned effort on O&T Major Objective 1, "Begin Assessment of COE Recomended Alternative Themal Reactor Fuel Cycle," which would reduce tha resources on this objective by 50% and result in a delay of about six months. These changes would provide a current total estimate of 51/2 MY available by reprograming of planned FY1930 efforts.

(b) PERSCOMBEfi, to be provided by PSB (2) Travel, to be detemined (3) Administrative Support, to be determined (4) Program Support, deferring OST Major Objective 4 would make approxicately $200,000 available.
