April 15, 1980 CHAIRMAN The Honorable Richard W. Riley Governor of South Carolina Columbia, South Carolina 29211
Dear Governor Riley:
Thank you for your letter of March 12, 1980 expressing interest in our suggestions on the relationship of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) to the State Planning Council.
We are pleased that you consider our relationship of such priority as to warrant early discussion by the Council, and we look forward to a mutually productive exchange of ideas and informa-tion during the formative stages of a truly national approach to radioactive waste management.
We feel that we would be in the best position to assist you in an advisory capacity, fi.rnishing information at your request rather than becoming active participants in Council deliberations. The NRC, as an independent regulatory agency, must exercise care in its potential involvement in any developmental aspects of matters which the Council may pursue and which we may be called upon to regulate.
The NRC has a number of resources available to assist the Council's work.
Our Division of Waste Management has been conducting extensive policy analysis and technical work in the development of future regulations and guidelines for the licensing and regulation of disposal facilities for both high and low-level wastes. Our Office of State Programs has developed an extensive reporting system on adopted and upcoming state legislation, and has access to comprehensive data on state legislation and regulation of nuclear power.
In addition, the Commission's Division of Document Control is prepared to provide timely distribution of all unclassified NRC documents.
This has been only a partial. catalogue of the services we are prepared to make available to the Council, but I hope it conveys to you our sincere desire to work with you toward what we all hope will be the timely and responsible resolution of problems we face now and in the upcoming years.
Sinc erely, I
