Dear Mr. Daltroff:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research, has contracted with Mountain West Research Incorporated to undertake a series of post-licensing studies of nuclear power stations.

These studies will analyze the conmunity and regional socioeconomic impacts which occurred during the construction and post-construction periods of each station. Peach Bottom Nuclear Plant Units 2 and 3 has been included in a sample of fourteen stations to be studied.

This contract is designed to provide ir.fomation and tools of analysis which will improve and facilitate the treatment of socioeconcmic impacts in the NRC licensing of. nuclear power plants.

It is our belief that thic study will place the type, magnitude, and significance of socioeconomic impacts from nuclear power plant siting into a more useful perspective.

It should, thereby, be usefal to communities located near the' proposed

!ite for future nuclear power plants as well as the NRC in :peeting its responsibil1 ties with regard to the National Enviremental Policy Act (NEPA).

These studies will involve infomation gathering in the communities surrounding each site. Only a limited amount of infomation, primarily historical in nature, will be sought directly frca the utilities.

Dr. James Chalmers of Mountain West Research will contact you within

'~

the next several weeks to arrange a briefing on the objectives and design of this study as well as the type of infomation that will be sought from you.

It is hoped that you can be of some assistance to the successful cer-famance of this study.
