Dear Mr. Caldwell:

This is in reply to your letter of November 27, 1979, about the need for nuclear energy.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is committed to prctect the public health and safety. The Three Mile Island accident.resulted in a need for changes in the approach to safety.

The Nucigar Re.gulatory Commission has found that actions recommended by its own stafi% hd by the President's Commission on the Accident at Three Mile Island in the areas of human factors, operational 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 Regulatory Commission an Action Plan that will specify the precise actions to be taken.

This Action Plan will include new or improved safety objectives, detailed criteria for their implementation, and various implementation deadlines.

Our goal is to have approved NRC requirements available to all utilities shortly after February 15, 1980.

It is recognized that there will be a significant effect on the availability power generating capacity if those plants now in the final stages of cconstruction do not receive operating licenses by the dates previously anticipated, and every effort is being made to avoid unnecessary delays.

Sincerely, A

Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation 8002080 293

DATA AUTOM ATION COMPANY,INC.E 4858 CASH ROAD E DALLAS, TEXAS 75247 E AC 214 637-6570 November 27,1979 Mr. Harold R. Denton, Director Nuclear Rector Regulation Office 1717 H. Street, N.W.

Washington, D.C. 20555

Dear Sir:

This country needs energy and needed it five years ago. The government was dragging its feet five years ago and is still dragging its feet in red tape and indecision.

This country should have decontroled oil at least three years ago. It looks like we need some real leadership in our federal government.

Now we are dragging our feet in Nuclear energy. This country has to have Nuclear energy NOW. The industry has recently taken steps that will make Nuclear energy even safer that it was, in my opinion, it is past time for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to cut the ego and red tape out and get Nuclear energy going for this country. Nuclear energy would save this country millions of barrels of oil every month.

LETS GET IT DONE NOW Sincerely, DATA AUTOMATION COMPANY, INC.
