Letter, fi. Spaeth to E.Y. Shum,18 July 1980. Preliminary Questions on General Electric Fuels Plant modifications and information submitted to support amendments to License SNM-1097.

Dear Dr. Shum:
A meeting was held at the General Electric fuels fabrication plant in Wilmington, NC on 11 August 1980 to discuss a series of preliminary ques-tions posed by SAI regarding clarification and updating of the original Environmental Impact Statement, NED0-20197, prepared by General Electric in 1974. Amplification of some of the information contained in the support-ing documents for amending License SM!!-1097 was also requested.
In addi-tion, General Electric conducted a tour of the plant areas in which the planned conversion process improvements and the modified waste incinerator are to be installed.
The tour also included the waste treatment and disposal areas on the plant site that may affect the plant surroundings and serve to control the quality and quantity of plant effluents.
During the discussion of the preliminary questions, agreements were reached regarding subsequent actions to be undertaken by NRC, G.E. and SAI for pre-paring information for the Environmental Impact Assessment document. Our understanding of these decisions follows.

'1.
The information in.the pertinent -tables of NED0-20197 will be updated ~
from 1974 to the present. The updated. data will be formulated to show the incremental _ changes, if any, that would result' from the: conversion facility expansion and the incinerator modifications as separate items
.(Questions 1.13,11.14, 1.15, 1.16, 2.9, 3.2, 3.3, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, L
3.10,3.11,3.13).
s 2.
Demographics, based on the' most recent-available data, will be provided.
for an area extending up to 50 miles from the plant (Questions-1.2 and
- 1. 3 )..
- 3.. General Electric will -inform NRC whether General. Electric will perform an analysis of a criticality incident. in confonnance with NUREG 3.34 or if this -analysis will.be performed by others.
-Dr.- Shum stated that NRC will~ perform an independent analysis of the' criticality. incident regard-iless.of. the. identity of the. party undertaking the original analysis 1
(Question 3.12).
4.-.1The effects 'on plant effluents that may arise~ from aircraft parts manu :
J facturing at the Wilmington-site will be addressed (Question >1.15).

August.20,:1980
.Page 3 Communications 1; General Electric suggested that SAI questions relating to nuclear activities be directed to A. Kaplan and those relating to other en-vironmental concerns be directed to W. Smalley.- In the event.that the proper. addressee were notLavailable, then the question could be 1
addressed to the other G.E. representative.
2.
SAI. agreed that Federal, state or local agencies would not be con-
- tacted regarding information for the EIA until General Electric were informed that the contact ~would be made.
3.
SAI will provide E. Y. Shum written confirmation of. any requests for information made to General Electric or.other, agencies.
We found the General Electric staff members unusually cooperative in re-sponse to our requests for iaformation.
It is apparent to us that General Electric will actively assist in preparing a thorough document describing
' the environmental impacts of plant operations.
Sincerely,~ -
