20555

SUBJECT:

Draft Report - Beyond Defense-In-De;P.h:

Cost and Funding of State and Local Government Radiologia l Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of C sc:mercial Nuclear Power Stations, NUREG-0553, March 30, 1979 Thank you for the opportunity to view this draf t aeport.

It is very complete and well done.

However, in the light of TMI, I believe that the cost estimates are very optimistic.

I have one specific comment on Page II Second Paragraph: The assumption that no costs are assigned to instrumentation is not valid.

The 'Brookhaven proj ect does not involve "=odification" of civil def ense instruments but rather using standard instruments with auxiliary sim-plified air sampling equipment which must be procured. As a result, there =ay be substantial costs associated with instrumentation.

'I am passing your report along to Ed Williams, Chairman of the Interagency Task Force on Emergency Instrumentation, for comments.

I am sure that you will hear from him.
