Dear Dr. Salomon:
Thank you for your letter of May 21, 1979, which forwarded a copy of your draft report, NUREG-0553.
While we have not been able to make a detailed' analysis of the report in the time allotted, we certainly agree that:
a.
The States and the local governments require Federal financial assistance to develop and maintain appropriate radio-logical Emergency Response Plans, for staff training and for the development and conduct of annual training exercises.
b.
Improved monitoring, communications and protective equip-ment and warning systems are required; and that Federal funds should be made available to procure and maintain these equipments and systems.
c.
A full-time Emergency Services Coordinator is needed by each local government that has a nuclear power plant within its boundaries; and that this position should be 100% Federally funded.
d.
A full-time radiological Emergency Response Planner is required on the State staff to coordinate the development and maintenance of State and local government radiological Emergency Respense Plans, unit and individual training programs and annual trainlag exercises.
100% Federal funding is also recommended for this position.
e.
Increased NRC license fees would be an appropriate source of funds to ccver the above costs.
