" We could support, of course, a petition to clearly require any NRC licensee to notify the impacted state immediately in the case of a significant release as j

defined in Part 20 or the licensees license.. Such could, of course, be greatly clarified by proper response of State and licensee to 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix E at the begining stages of the licensing process."
