NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 5

j WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555

Ms. Louise Radcliffe, President League of Women Voters of San Luis Obispo, California c/o 2570 Bay Vista Lane Los Osos, CA 93402

Dear Ms. Radcliffe:

This is in reply to your letter of September 29, 1979, to the Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission asking that additional licenses for nuclear power plants not be granted until the investigative process of Three Mile Island is completed.

The Commission has requested that no operating license, construction permit, or limited work authorization be issued without prior approval of the Commission.

The Commission has also requested that the staff forward to all con-struction-permit and operating-license applicants for planning and guidance purposes the list of items related to the Three Mile Island accident from the Lessons Learned Task Force and in various NRC Bulletins and Orders, advising the applicants that the list is not complete and will be updated as new information becomes available. The Commission has stated that the staff should continue to review on an on-going basis those areas not related to the Three Mile Island accident.

As a practical matter, some time will be required before licensing activities and proceedings can be completed on pending cases and before any licensing decision can be made.

In any event, we assure you that every effort is being made to ensure the continued protection of the public health and safety at all nuclear plants that are currently operating or that may begin operation in the future.

Sincerely,

- J Sy

a Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation 1757 078 jyg-7911120
