Dear Dr. Ahearne The purpose of this letter is to express Portland General Electric . ci -- Campany's desire to. proceed with construction licensing .of ' the. Pebble Springs-Nuclear Plant. We have-been unable to convinde-your Staff'to-commit the necessary resources to mover ahead with our application in j s even the most limited fashion.
~- , m_
The Pebble Springe 11cansing proceeding has been ongoihg1for over -six
^
years. Prior to the accident at Three Mile Island (THI),t NRC Staff" - 1
. review'and; bearings before the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board were ~ ~
moving towards-completion. Since the 1MI accident,.further safsty review %
. and_ licensing priMseedings have, been in abeyance --= Mas the' formulation of a licensing policy by0the IRC to appropriately reflect the lessons laarmed from the accident. fos W 4a! Construction Fermit applications.
Although NDRIG#'.3.is a .t. p in this; direction . it' appears to us that Commission aperoval of 2 complete policy stacament for Construction , Permit applications may be months away. Pending completion'of this policy statement, we believe a partial initial decision- on environ-mental-and' site-suitability issues could now be entered where the hear- ~ ing record is complete. We also believe several-other environmental 1 and site ' suitability issues are monable to resolution in the'near-ters and we seek to complete and close the record on thaasatasues. Moving; forward towards completioncof these latter category of'issbos involves k, y M a limited commitment of staff resources. These issues are: s
'a5g! Alternative sites. The'18C Staff has comploteditheir myD n alternative'slte review and issued it in the form of a 7"

d..' Accident-Considerations under NEPAL In accordance with the Caenission's' Statement of. Interim Policy dated #'
' June 13,~1980, an lac Staff determination:is needed to ascertain if.any "special circumstances" exist for 4 Pebble Springs that would warrant reconsideration of ~
' accidents at:the Construction Permit' stage of review. -

~~
. Operating-License' applicants. Consistent with this situation, we have i endeavored to close out only-those environmental and site suitability '
issues currently pending in our-proceeding which do not induce a signi-
~
ficant commitment'of staff resources and which would not fall within the purview of the Commission's 'D11 licensing policy for Construction Permit applications. We believe:this is a reasonable, efficient and prudent course to pursue. However, your Staff has-been unwilling to w provide even-the most minimum of resources necessary to support the-completion of hearings-on the foregoing matters. I respectfully request that you ask your Staff to give due consideration to the Pebble Springs application and to provide the support needed to- -

go forward with final-stages of hearings on the, remaining environmental and site suitability matters identified herein. w Sincerely, k a - j/As
