..R. 1,
.h The' Honorable John N. Dalton Governor of Virginia Richmond, Virginia 23219 i.N.,
Dear Governor Dalton:
The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) is proposing a change to the current regulation on radiological emergency response plans for nuclear production and utilization facilities. During the coment period on the proposed rule, the NRC staff intends to meet regionally with appropriate State and local officials and utility representatives to discuss the feasibility of the proposed rule, its impact and the procedures proposed for complying with its provisions.
Briefly, the proposed rule would:
1.
Require an NRC licensee to shut down a nuclear power reactor if appropriate State and local emerpncy response plans have not received NRC concurrence or do not warrant continued NRC concurrence.
~
2.
Require that State and local emergency response plans be concurred in by the NRC as a condition of operating license issuance.
3.
Require extending emergency planning consideratioc tc the emergency planning zones (i.e., within the approximate 10- and 50-mil.a radiuses around the plant).
l 4.
Require that detailed emergency planning implementing procedures be submitted to NRC for review.
5.
Require informing the public and improving support for local emergency response personnel.
MRC will be holding its workshop for States in your region at Atlanta on January 24, 1980. I invite,you.to designate one. State.cfficial to represent the State's views.
Informed participation could be provided by someone familiar with the State's existing radiological emergency
. response program. Additionally; since the NRC's perspective of the workability of the proposed rule will be enhanced by an understanding of the concerns of local governments, the NRC is seeking participation by
. 1; '.. the local" government.9 invite' you'to' designate two local officials,
~T A. Tone to represent eah county within which % reactor site is located.
You may, of course, send others as; observers.
