January 4,1980 Docket Nos. 50-266 and 50-301 Mrs. Joan Estes, President Lakeshore Citizens for Safe Energy 3314 Gass Lake Road Manitowoc, Wisconsin 54220
Dear Mrs. Estes:
This is in response to your letter of November 29, 1979 to Commissioner Hendrie, which has been referred to me for reply.
Enclosed for your information is a copy of NUREG/CR-0199, " Radiological Assessment of Steam Generator Removal and Replacement." This report contains the type of general information that you requested with respe:t to the radiological aspects of steam generator replacement.
As to Point Beach specifically, Wisconsin Electric Power Company has not at this time made a request to replace the steam generators at their Unit 1 facility. If we receive a proposal to do so, you can be assured that both the safety aspects and environmental impact will be carefully reviewed. Whether or not an Environmental Impact Statenent would be prepared would depend on the specifics of such a proposal.
Any hearings with respect to replacement of steam generators at Point Beach would be held in the general vicinity of the plant, in accordar.:e with our normal practice.
\\ Sincerely, l
