Pebble We have-been unable to convinde-your Staff'to-Springs-Nuclear Plant. commit the necessary resources to mover ahead with our application in j even the most limited fashion. s ~- 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 a limited commitment of staff resources. These issues are: M s myD 'a5g! Alternative sites.

~ Pane 2 M t s c. Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. NRC Staff analysis has been completed and only needs to be considered in' future hearings to complete the record. g:~ ~ 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 Pebble Springs that would warrant reconsideration of 4 ' accidents at:the Construction Permit' stage of review. ~ Weappreciatethelashpowerdifficultie'sEheNRCisexperiencingand t b+- _ -recognise-that greater priority should be properly afforded to near-tera ~~ . 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. Sincerely, w j/As k a ev- >>a "..- s . aan lad '~ 'Vice President Engineering-Construction 4 c: Mr. Lynn' Frank, Director 1 Q' '%x . State of Oregon g' w
