Dear Mr. Chairman:
During the course of our hearing yesterday, the subject of the length of time it would take to license the Clinch River Breeder Reactor arose.
I indicated that I had not talked to representativet of the Department of Energy about a 14-month licensing schedule for Liinch River, nor had I agreed to such a schedule.
I find that there have been some preliminary discussions between members of our staff and DOE representatives about a possible resumption of the Clinch River. licensing effort, although our staff members do not recall discussion of a 14-month schedule.
I would, of course, have added this information to my answer at the hearing had I been aware of it, and I ask that this letter be included in.the hearing record by way of correcting and amplifying lay testimony.
As you requested, we will supply for the record our best estimate of the steps required and the time they would take for resuming and completing the licensing of Clinch River for construction if it is the decision of the Administration and the Congress to go forward with the project.
Sincerely,
' 'M l
