Dear Mr. Whi%:
}
t I want to thank you for your letter of June 1,1979, offering help in obteining assistance from other agencies to deal with the unexpected and g
substantial workload imposed by the Three Mile Island accident.
I much j
appreciate your understanding the difficulties this additional workload has created for the ilRC in processing license applications and other normal v:orkload matters and your prompt and helpful response.
t l
As you noted, our imediate need is fnr additional personr.el to deal with our workload problems.
These additional resources are needed on a i
temporary basis, to cover the period until the staff increases proposed j
in the FY 1980 budget can be employed and made effective.
I believe i
that we can obtain the assistance needed from the fiational Laborateries 3
I of the Department of Energy and that this assistance, together with internal !!RC personnel and task reassignments and some assistance in
{
particular technical areas fcom the Corps of Engineers and the U. S.
3 Geological Survey, will make it possible for u's to minimize the effects of Three Mile Island on the normal work of the agency.
4 We have started discussions with the Department of Energy to obtain the l
needed assistance and will pursue the matter vigorously to bring these j
resources into action as soon as possible.
We will also be contacting i
the Ccrps of Engineers and the U. S. Geological Survey as scon as our 4) needs for specific technical specialists in their areas of expertise are j
identified.
Ue believe that funding for the temporary assistance, as well as for cur ir.ternal reassignments, can be accomodated by repro-l graming within our present budget.
j I should note that in the longer term v.e Taj need to discuss. ith you changes and increases in some of the Cc rissien't crogrEms reflecting the lessens lehrnad from our studies of '.ne T wce..fie :siend ar.cid:.s.
'i These will take some time to develop and I.culd expect that they could i
