Gentlemen:

o$ f ed \\

By letter dated November 3,1977, the NRC Staff advised the Board and parties of concerns raised by Dr. Walter Jordan, a member of the Atomic Safety and Licensing. Board Panel, regarding the con-tribution and significance of radon as one of the radiological com-

[

ponents of the environmental impacts of the uranium fuel cycle reflected in 10 CFR 651.20(e), Table S-3, as revised.

We indicated that the Staff would provide the Board with its analysis of Dr.

Jordan's memorandum.

The purpose of this letter is to inform the Board and parties of the status of the Staff's analysis.

The concerns raised by Dr. Jordan's memorandum would be significant in this proceeding if they were' to put into substantial question any major factual premise or conclusion of the Staff's evidentiary presentations.

The appropriate remedy might vary depending on whether the concern is with a value contained in Table S-3 itself or with the Staff's application of the S-3 values.

It is expected that the Staff's assessment will be completed in 1

. several weeks and that we will be able to submit our evaluation to the Board and parties in the latter. part of. January 1978.
