j Q'JESTION 2. -
Does the NRC support legislation concerning plant-specific NRC n
licensing actions? If so, under what circumstances would NRC sup' port legislation that would result in termination or denial of a plant license?
ANSWER.
As an independent regulatory agency charged with protecting the public health -
and safety and the comon defense and security, the Comission generally prefers that Congress not enact plant specific legislation relating to pending regulatory matters. However, the Comission recognizes that it.is appropriate for Congress to consider plant specific legislation focusing on national policy objectives, and it appears that the Ritter Amendment is concerned with such -
objectives.. However, as noted above, the Commission takes no position on the L
amendment.
