Dear Mr. Denton:
~~
A p'etition by Kay Drey' dated March 19, 1979, requesting that'an Environ ~
mental Impact Statement be prepared on the proposed decontamination of j
Dresden Unit I, was treated as a ;equest for action under 10 CFR 2.206 (44 Fed. Reg. 22529). Under subsection (b) of 2.206, the' Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) must decide "within a reasonable time after a request" whether to act on that request or not. To date, neither Kay Drey nor Citizens for a Better Environment (CBE) are aware of a response to Mrs. Drey's petition.
In light of the delay since Mrs. Drey's petition, and to emphasize the serious need for an Environn.antal Impact Statement, CBE has filed a petition, dated March 13, 1980, requesting 1
that an Environmental Impact Statement be prepared on the proposed 1
decontamination of Dresden Unit I and that the decontamination be stayed until the Statement is prepared. With regard to these two petitions and the proposed decontamination, we have several questions to which we would appreciate your response.
1.
When will the NRC respond to Kay Drey's petition?
2.a.
If no Environmental Impact Statement is prepared, will the NRC publish an environmental appraisal?- If so, when?
b.
If an environmental appraisal or negative declaration is issued, will there be a publ_ic comment period?
If so, when?
- 3.
If the NRC decides not to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement, will Commonwealth Edison Company (and/or a subsidiary) be imediately authorized to go ahead with the decontamination procedure?
If A-not immediately authorized, when can Edison begin.the procedure? '"'s n
