Mr. Peter A. Morris, Director Division of Reactor Licensing United States Atomic Energy Commission Washington, D. C.

Dear Mr. Morris:
The need for close coordination between your staff and the utility from the earliest possible date is indicated by your letter of December 8, 1971.
If we wait until formal licensing procedure begins with the I
applicant's filing for the construction permit you and ourselves have lost the first six to eight months in time.
Informal contact is essential but we have no DRL staff personnel assigned as you have no application. Possibly the applicant and you could arrange by request to establish from the first the proposed contacts for such coordination efforts so as to facilitate beginning with filing on an organized working relationship basis.
Another concern is the importance of early site evaluation activi-ties traditionally called " ologies" which are now so critical to our decision process. We must use your guidance and leadership in assisting us in early site problem identifications if we are to reduce evaluation time while supplying increasing design infor-mation at the time of application submittal.
Early assignment of contact personnel is again vital to this effort.
~
We might suggest that you consider a staff assignee to each nuclear utility in addition to the team assigned to each applicant. This single utility contact would be the entrance for necessary liaison with your operation prior to formal procedure.
Please accept our congratulations on your initiatio.' of this very wor *.hwhile undertaking on behalf of the nuclear futt.re of our industry. We look forward to success and are dedicated to it.
Sincerely, 1
A. P. Perez President N

In response to this request I aci sending you copies of t!:n notes fron which I spoke. As I ctressed at the caeting, there uns not enant to be nnv particular priority attached to the order in which the itens were mentioned, nor vere the lists caant to be comnlece or definitive in any sense. Neither vera the examples reant to be carning. They were yresented then and aro provided now as honefully helpful guidance to you in providing applications that can be procesced expeditiously.
Questions and discussion brought out other points, our positions on which are the following:
CP applications should be based on preli:sinary designa not just n
conceptual designs.
OL applications should be based on final designs, not anything less.
Technical specifications are an important onre of the entire design and safety analysis process. Since they becoce a part of the liennse, their nature and their banen should be an interral part of the develop-mental process of clant design and oroposed operation. Both CP and OL applications should include sections on technical specifications. At l
