Dear firs. Ycunghein:

Thank you for your letter of April 2G,1978, addressed to Chair an Hendrie, concerning the proposed Black Fox nuclear plant and the Kerr-it: Gee 7

PluteniufuFuel Fabrication Plant. Chairman Hendric referred your letter to me for response in view of the fact that the matter of the licensing of the Black Fox plant is pending before an Atonic Safety and Licensing Board and, since the Chairman and the other members of the Comission may be called upon to review rulings or the results of the Licensing Board deliberations, it was deer'ed inappropriate for him to personally respond.

For the same reason, the Chaiman referred Concressman Risenhouver's letter to the fiRC Staff for respo.1sc.

With respect to your cencerns about water supplies, that matter was the f

subject of extensive testirony during the T!EC public hearing on the y

application for a license to construct the Illack Fox plant. As wa -

stated by MRC Staff witnesses, it was their expert opinion that the water supplies available at the proposed site for the plant were sufficient to assure adequate.ccoling capability for the plant reacters during their expectcd lifetime of some forty years. Of course, as you know, this position was controverted by other parties durino the hearina. The pending Licensing Board now has this question and others before it for decision. Its decision will be subject to review by an Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board and the Commission.

As to tts health effects of Thoriun 230, those will be explored by the presidir I isinq Board at the reopened hearine on the Clack Fox D

applicat

.M.cd for Juno C-G, 197a in Tulsa, Oklahoea, to considor

%c the matti -

ocn ci..issicns and Table S-3.

The Licensing Coard's E;

decision c.) th eatter will be subject to the same reviews as were 6

noted above.

q.-

In your 1 $orted the existence of a possibic hazard at a waste sito a

. n.c Kerr-ficGee plant at Crescent, Oklahoma.

I That matter has.. referred to our Office of Inspection anJ fnforcement for appropriate 1:'vestigation. Thank you for bringinq this mctter to I

our attention.

Sincerely, r wj y

tttiton J. Crossman
