Dear Dr. Salomon:
Thank you for the copy of your draft report on cost and funding of state and local radiological emergency response plans and preparedness in connection with nuclear power stations.
The report appears to be comprehensive and detailed.
My only conr.ents have to do with the section on possible use of Coastal Energy Impact Program funds on pages II-109 and II-110.
For FY 1979 Delaware has $555,000 in formula grant 308(b) money (not $633,000). The
$633,000 figure includes $63,087 of 308(c)(1) planning grant money and 515,576 ef environmental-recreational 308(d)(4) grant money as well as formula grant money. The Port of Wilmington (City Department of Commerce) is requesting $401,000 (not $555,000) for equipment to improve air quality and for preparation of an environmental impact statement for a new dredge spoil disposal site. All funds requested would be formula grant funds provided the total amount requested by all local government and State agency applicants does not exceed the $555,000 allocated to Delaware. CEIP 308(c)(1) money may have to be used for part of Wilmington's need if total requested formula grant funds exceed the amount available.
Cepending upon total CEIP funds requested by all applicants in each CEIP sub-section 308(b), 308(c), etc. there may be sufficient FY 1979 CEIP money available to support a New Castle County radiological emergency response plan. The OMBP should know this by mid-May. However, there is one other possible barrier to CEIP funding of such a plan. As you well know, the Salem nuclear power station is not in Delaware.

Mr. Stephen N. Salomon Page 2 April 25, 1979 past the Office of Coastal Zone Management (U.S. Department of Commerce) has refused to consider this power plant a Delaware energy facility in terms of providing CEIP grants to Delaware to plan for probable or possible effects on Delaware from the Salem nuclear station. The 1976 amendments to the Coastal Zone Management Act which established the CEIP and the regulations adopted by the OCZM apparently make no provision for interstate effects of energy facilities.
It may take political persuasion to change this unfortunate situation.
On page II-53 you mention color air photos taken at 23,000 feet elevation by the NRC representing 6 and 11 mile distances from nuclear power plants being available at no cost to State governments.
You say that these have a high resolution and are taken on a periodic basis. Can you tell me wno in the NRC Office of Inspection and Enforcement to contact for further information about availability of these air photos?
Thank you again for the copy of your report.
If revisions are made in the March 30, 1979 draft as a result of cccinents received would you please send this Office a copy of the revised report?
Sincerely, Yhbhw John Sherman CEIP Administrator JS/jad
