Dear Steve:
Thank you so much for responding 50 promptly to my request for information and a copy of your draft report.
I'm sorry this reply has not been as prompt in return.
We have found your draft report most useful, particularly in its assess-ment of existing planning procedures and issues of cost and responsibility.
We are currently cataloging state emergency response plans for selected states, trying to identify the plan element, if any, that addresses transpor-tation accidents involving radioactive materials. We are finding much of the lack of organization and coordination you describe in NUREG-0553.
Significant uncertainty seems to exist as to various agency responsibili-ties in an. accident, and there is a genuine interest in improving the situ-ation given the events at Three Mile Island. Thus, although we are not specifically looking at fixed facilities, we found the discussion in your report most timely.
Again, thank you for the draft and the other NUREG documents. We look forward to the final report of NUREG-0553. Our current work is in support of Sandia's work for the NRC on the transport of radionuclides through urban areas; I'm sure you'll be seeing working copies in your office.
However, if any of our more sp.ecific information would be of use to you, please feel free to call.
Sincerely, Marjorie R. Greene Social Change Study Center MRG/mb c:
