t Mr. '4111 f an F. Kirk i

Engincertryj Consultant 129 Cherry Hill Road Orange, Connecticut OMll Dear Mr. Kirk 25, 1930, the Acting Executive Director for Operations denied Petitior.

i On July for Rule !1aking 3'3-56 filed by Mr. Walter P. Peaples, Jr. on behalf of Gulf

!!uclear, Inc.

i l

The petitioner proposed that the ibclear Regulatory Comission be divided into two separate entities - one area would deal with fissile naterials and the second area would deal with byproduct materials.

In view of your interest in PRi 30-56 I am encl'osing for your infomation a copy of the notice of denial published in the Federal Register on August 13, 1980. The notice sumarizes the petition, cements by interested persons, staff responses, and assigned functions within.the !bclear Regulatory Comission, and sets out the grounds of dental: Given the structure of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as anended, it is clear that Congress intended the I

newly created !;uclear Regulatory Comission to have licensing and related regulatory authority not only over nuclear reactors, uranin at111ng, nuclear fuel processing and reprecassing, and other areas dealing with fissile materials The TGC i tsel f but also have this same authority over byproduct materials.

cannot *...' separate the United States Nuclear Regulatory Comission,in eitherinto two separate er.tities.... " Such a separation could only be accomplished of two ways:

(1) enactment of. legislation by the U. S. Congress, the method by which the existing tRC was created; or (2) through impltr.entation of an Executive Reorganization Plan pursuant to.5 (L 5. C. 901 et seq. '
