Dear Mr. Ryan:
Cc=nents on NUREG-0553, Draft, March 30l 1979, "Beyond Defense-in-Depth" are forwarded for pur information.
The need of sound Radiological Emergency Response Planning.s becceing more and more apparent as the nuclear industry grows.
The funding for such programs on the local level is al= cst non-existant in comparison with the planning parameter growth "sug-gested" by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the growing temand by the public for more effective and proven response planning.
A report like NUREG-0553 has been long overdue.
The report identifies with the needs o f local responsible agencies.
The funding mechanis: suggested by Dr. Salomon seec, to me, to be realistic and equitable.
I an in particulae agreement with Dr. Salomon's statement on Page II - 116 where he states "no nuclear power station should be permitted to operate unless the impacted State and local govern-cents both have received concurrence."
- believe, that if this idea was enforced as law the technology and funds for radiclogical energency response planning would be readily established.
After-all, af one canno; create and implement a viable response plan in the time it takes to build and licence a nuclear power plant, inen it cost likely will never be done.
I also believe that a generation of constructive cocperation of all parties concerned; federal, state, and local governments as well as the licensee will energe from such action.
- n perspective of Three Mile Island, cur job
.s no longer being 1:oxed at as " Cing on the Cake".
The NRC nust come to grip: with inaaequate planning.
I feel that a funding techani = is an inte-gral part of tne soluti:n.
Dr. Salcacn's findings are 1211: and :
