Dear Chairman Palladino:

l Chlo Citizens for hosponsible EnerEy ("0CitF") has become aware of the fact that tne Clinch River Breeder neactor, which was suspended oy President Carter, has been revived and is now up for licensing. OCHE has also learned that the last environ-mental assessment of tne project, the Final Environmental 1mpact Statement, was performed in 1977. Five years have past since tnut time. During tnose 5 years many changes have occurred in the legal and tuennical aspects of nuclear power, some of whicn are listed below:

1. the T!.11 a c cident , with the subsequent changes in focus of thc !Iit C , e.g., tir, T!!I Action Plan, increased awarencas of human error, man-tnachine interf ace , etc.;

2. major changes in the design of tne Clinch River reactor vennel and fuel core;

3. changes in UHC reculatfons, e.g., safeguards, safety Coals, reactor siting, emergency planning, and acci'ent risk reduction;

4. chanEes in the interpretations of ?IEPA, e.g., the 2 recent court rulings, on psychological stress and tne S-3 Table;

5. changes in tnc economic picture for nuclear power, e.g.,

higner construction costs, lower demand for electricity, improvements in alternatives whlen make the breeder reactor the least desiracle und most unnecessary option.

Ooviousl, t,nc 1977 FNlb is cutdated and inadequate. OCRE belicves that a new draft sapplement to the FEIS should be prepared, taking into account the numerous changes in circum-stances rem arding Clinch River and all other facets of nuclear power since 1977, OJith urges that an updated environmental review ce performed, and OCnL would like to receive tais supple-ment ur.d nave the opportunity to co: rent on it. Thank you.

Sincerely,

< r WYNk Susun L. dia t t OChs ifepresentative 8275 'iunson hd.
