Dear Mr. Ryan:
Thank you for the comment copy of Steve Salcmon's draft report on financing fixed nuclear facility offsite emergency plans.
My staff found this report interesting and, informative. They were very pleased to note that the information we shared with Mr. Salomon was correctly used in the pacer.
As for the report's conclusion, we believe that the only pos-sible way to adequately finance offsite emergency plans for fixed nuclear f acilities is to require the license holder to guarantee an adequate sum of money to be used by local govern-ments to develop and periodically update such emergency plans.
Therefore, we concur with the proposal to require license hol-ders to financially support emergency plans.
We also believe that some special planning circumstances (such as the Trojan Plant problem of an Oregon based utility locating on the State's border with Washington) need to be closely examineJ as the great-er questien of emergency plan financing is addressed.
All in all, we have no qualms or quarrels with Mr. Salomon's report, and we hope the Commission soon takes his suggestions to heart.
Sincerely, Betty J. McClellanc Director BJM:rh 312t773 Som
