Dear Dr. Zachariasen:
Since meeting with the Risk Assessment Review Group on September 7, '
the Commission has been discussing a policy statement concerning its views regarding the Reactor Safety Study (WASH-1400) and of the use-fulness of risk assessment methodology in light of your report. As you undoubtedly know by now, the Commission issued its policy statement 6n this matter on January 19.
I am enclosing copies of the statement, the Commission's instructions to the staff as to-actions to be taken regarding the Review Group report, and the news release on the matter.
I want to take this opportunity to say once again that the Group has our profound thanks for its work.
The Group has performed an important public service.
Sincerely, W
