In association with the advance notice of propo.ed rulinaking on reactor siting, and in recognition of the ac tion of the Congr ess in the FY 80 j

Authorization Conference, it is necessary for the I;RC to develop a transition policy to move from the old to the new siting criteria and a inethod of focusing a

l on existing sites.

Therefore, the staff is requested to do the following:

with little. anstruction t o plet ed, the stoi f is directed to j

these would not be exp>< t ed to i.. et the rm o.:nandations of the Siting Policy Task Force, t.5a r. a /5, as r,,dified by OPE and l

ALRS co;

nts as discussed with t he re: oi: sion.

This compariton, together v.ith the othar. spects of the saf: ty evaluation, will be used to detennine if any additional i.:'.isures in plant design or operation should be reco-cnded.

(b)

The staff discussion of siting r.atters shauld be placed in the staf f Safety Evaluation P.epor* or should be in the form of an addendum to the SEP.,

The Ce: ni sien will 'hcn review these 1

matters when the LWA or Cr cases reach us.

Following completion of those analyses currently underway, i.e.,

Indian Point, Zion, etc., the staff should continue safety review for the next plants on the list and recom:dend what if any additior measures are indicated.

(c)

These staff reviews should be in the fann of SEC,Y papers that are presented first to the ACRS and then, after appropriate revision, to the Commission.

Cated on the early reviews, the Com:nission may either truncate or require extension of the original candidate list.
