Dear Mr. f!cIntyrc:
On March 30, 1979, the Comptroller General of the United States submitted a report entitled " Areas Around fluclear Facilities Should Be Better Prepared for Radiological Emergencies". One of the recommendations for the NRC in that report was:
"The Chairman, fluclear Regulatory Commission, should establish an emergency planning zone of about 10 miles around all nuclear power plants as recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency /fluclear Regulatory Commission Task Force, and require licensees to modify their emergency plans accordingly."
In my response to you on June 26, 1979, I stated that the Commission would give careful consideration to the recommendations of the flRC/ EPA Task Force Report.
I now wish to inform you that the Commission has accepted and endorses the guidance contained in the task force report and we have published a Federal Register ilotice announcing this endorsement (enclosure 1). We have directed the staff to begin to incorporate the guidance into existing documents and to incorporate it into a proposed new rule on emergency planning.
Sincerely,
'N M
