Ronald D. Hauber Office of International Programs

SUBJECT:

PROPGSED REFUGEE PROCESSING CENTER NEAR PNPP-1 W. Albert, formerly of NRC's Region V Office, and now in the first months of a one-year assignment as an IAEA nuclear safety advisor to the Philippine Atomic Energy Agency, has sent to the Office of International Programs the enclosed copy of a letter report to the IAEA concerning plans for siting a Refugee Processing Center (RPC) at a site 7 kilometers from the PNPP-1 site. Albert notes that the RPC is expected to have a definite (perhaps 5-year) life span, but that the quality of construction of the RPC indicates it might be used as a settlement long after the RPC function is completed.

Normally, IAEA advisors, including those recruited from the NRC staff, do not routinely provide NRC with copies of their reports.

Reports between IAEA advisors and the IAEA are usually made in confidence and, in those instances when NRC or another U.S. government agency has later been provided a copy of such a report, it has usually been on a confidential basis.

However, inasmuch as this report has come directly to NRC without c: fidential mark-ings, it is being handled as a public document and will be placed in the PDR.

Mr. Albert has been informed of this planned handling of the report and has no objection.

The Department of State has been advised of Mr. Albert's report and has been sent a copy of it.

The decision was based a n a comparative stub conducted by t.he Philippine Government Task F% ;.e on Refugee Processing Center which I have eat tier creato.1, empha-sizing on cost ccasiderations, ease of logistic support, and security /centrol aspect of alternative sites.

As determined by the Task Fcree, the f m. ding requirements of t.he Bataan site can be accomodated within the indic..ted available resources alloted by the United saticus since mobili::ation costs for icbor and equi;iment of onstr uction tirms norm.tlly based in I.etro :.anila can he m nimized.

In addition, the Bataan site has assureu _ocd sourcer,.

infrastructure and utilities in sites and nearcy towns.

The site, being in the main island of Luzon, moreover, will have immediate assistance and response i.

. varf.cus government agencies whose nase of operations is in Metro t~ nila.

The Philippine gov. nment, nonetheless, is willing to sit down with the
