Mr. A. J. Beswick Soil Mechanics, Limited Foundation House, Eastern Road Bracknell, Berkshire RG12 2UZ England

Dear Mr. Beswick:

Thank you for your recent letter to Chainnan Hendrie concerning your company's impressive capabilities in the geotechnical studies area.

The charter of the Nuclear Regulatory Comission permits us to conduct research activities associated with confirmation of safety and other aspects of licensing nuclear facilities.

However, we cannot engage in power development activities and, except in a very few unique cases, our research that is contracted to commer-cial firms is restricted to firms in the United States.

Thank you again for your letter.

Should any of your representatives be in the Washington area, we would be pleased to discuss our geo-technical research or site evaluation activities with them.

Sincerely,

)

N4 Saul Levine, Director Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research P
