October 27, 1989 The Honorable Kenneth M. Carr Chairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C.
20555
Dear Mr. Chairman:
On November 9, 1989, the Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment will conduct an oversight hearing.concerning the
-agreement between the Long Island Lighting company-and the State of New York to close and decommission the Shoreham nuclear power plant.
Instead of requesting the commission to. testify at the
~
hearing, I would appreciate the Commission providing written responses to the following questions by November 7, 1989:
(1). Does the NRC support the "Ritter Amendment" to the NRC authorization bill adopted by-the Energy and Commerce Committee on July 6, 19897 (2)
Does the NRC support legislation concerning plant-specific NRC licensing actions?
If so, under what L
circumstances would NRC-support legislation that would result in termination or denial of a plant license?
l (3)
Does the NRC have the authority to compel a licensee to I
generate electricity from a commercial nuclear facility if I
the licensee does not desire to generate electricity from the facility?
(4)
Does the NRC have the authority to compel a licensee to complete construction of a nuclear facility that is not complete?
l (5)
If a licensee determines that a nuclear facility should be closed and decommissioned, does the NRC have the authority to compel that licensee to continue to operate the i
facility because the NRC determines that the power generated by the facility is needed?
