Dear Mr. Fisher:
This is in reply to your letter of December 7,1979 about licensing of nuclear pcwer plants.
The Nuclear Regulatory Cemission is co=mitted to protect the public health and safety. The Three Mile Island accident resulted in a need is enanges in the approach to safety. The Nuclear Regulaury Comission has found that actions recemmended by its own staff and by the President's Commission on the Accident at Three Mile Island in the areas of hu=an factors, opera-tional safety, emergency planning, nuclear power plant design and siting, health effects, and public information are necessary and feasible.
At this time we are preparing for review and approval by the Nuclear Regula-tory Cc= mission an Action Plan that will specify the precise actions to be taken.
It will include new or improved safety objectives, detailed criteria for their implementation, and various implementation deadlines. As soon as the Action Plan is completed and approved, the resulting regulatory require-sents will be transmitted to all utilities concerned.
It is recognized that there will be a significant effect on the availability of power generating capacity if those plants new in the final stages of construction do not receive operating licenses by the dated previously anticipated, and every effort is being made to avoid unnecessary delays.
Sincerely, G
Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation l
