lis. Annette Daum Religous Action C;nsultant Cocnissicn cn Social *.ction of Reform Judaism 333 Fif th Avenue ilew York, NY l0021 Dear "s.

Daum:

Your letter of July 3,1979, to tre chairman of the :'uclear Ragulatary Cc~ mission, enclosing a casolution adopted by the 3 card of Trustees of the Unicn of Arerican Hebrew Congregations, has been referred to me.

Iten 6 of that resolution concerns nuclear power.

As a result of the accident at Three Mile Is'and, task forces have been es-tablished within the f;uclear Regulatorj Com.ission to (1) give direct supcort to Three Mile Island on such r:atters as core cooling, cleanup and recovery operations, (2) review responses by elect ic utilities to NPC orders and bulletins, (3) identify, analyze, and reccrend changes in licensing require-

.:nts and in the licensing process based on lessons learned frcm Three Mile Island, (4) assure the continued safe operation of operating plants, and (S) cc:plete ucrk cn unresolved safety issues.

The result will be new or revised NRC regulations concerning such tratters as the training of operatces, operating procedures, emergency planning, instrumentation, and design.

Pricrity is being given to plants that the CRC has ordered to shut do'..,,

plants that are coerating, and plants that are near to being ready for oserations.

New require-men's will also apply to other plants under construction, where there is more t:,.2 available for making changes.

.le assure you that every effort is being made to ensure the continued protection of the health and safety of the public at all nuclear power plants.

Sincerely, l/

WY Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
