Tne Honorable . Van::io J. Palladino Chaiman Nuclear Regulatory Ccxtenission Washington, D.C. 20555

Dear Mr. Chaiman:

Tne Cannission has received a request from the Secretary of Energy to begin preli:ninar9 siting work relative to the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Project. This facility is a vital eleme.t of the government's research and development program relating to the liquid metal fast breeder reactor.

As you may know. the Conferees' language en t:.e Qanibus B.2dget Reconciliation Act of 1982 (P.L. 97-35) states t'..at Congress wants this project to "be constructed in a timely a!.d expeditious manner". The Floor statements in bot'a Houses further support this conclusion. I therefore confim that the Secretary's request is consistent with Congressional intent.

Sincerely,

[
