  • / OHIN G Tc N. o, C. 20555 L%.:. 31 S5 Lae V. Cossick, Executive Director for Operations CORE MELT CONSIDERATIONS AND ALTEPSATIVE PROCEDURES FOR PROCESSING THE FLOATING NUCLEAR PLANT APPLICATIONS The enclosed report discusses a cajor policy issue that has received considerac% staff attention during the past year. The report alro presents alternative courses of action that eight be taken with respect to conpletion of the licensing process for the floating nuclear plant.

The Director of the Division of R"eactor Licensing and the Acting Director of the Division of Technical Review both reco rend adoption of Alternative 1.

'.Toile I believe I understand the bases for this reco==endation, I do not think this Alternative is viable and instead believe Alternative 4 should be followed.

I have requested cocents on the enclosed report and proposed alter-native courses of actions from H. K. Shapar, S. H. Hanauer, and H. J. C. Kouts.

In additien, I have requested that Dr. Routs provide esticated dates for the start and co:pletion of the work that we believe could be done by his Office under each of the alternative courses of action.

I have asked that the co=ments be provided to

=e by April 7, 1975.

In addition, RL and TR have suggested that the issue concerning the degree to which core =eltdown analyses should be performed in individual cases be considered on a generic basis outside the context of any specific case, so thct the Co=ission itself can be involved in the decision without concern about ex parte. limitations. Howard Shapar has been asked to consider this approach.

I would like to discuss this matter with you af ter receipt of the requested infor=ation from Dr. Kouts, Dr. Hanauer, and Mr. Shapar.

I will let you kncv when sud a meeting would be appropriate.
