Dear Nuclear Regulatory Commission ( NRC):
I am writing you as a member of Peoples' Action for a Safe Environment to formally requect that you reconsider and refuse at this time granting Entergy's request to proceed with any con-struction related to future dry cask storage of nuclear waste and refuse at this time to allow changes,in VSC-24 generic design of the untested dry cask containers for storage of high level radio-active waste on-site at Arkansas Nuclear One(ANO).
In my conversation wi th NRC emoloyee, Mr. Charles ~Haughney, on March 31st, 1994 he explained t h a t. Entertjy will have,to change the design of the already appr oved " generic" cask.
.H e stated there was no procedute for concerned citizen to'become involved with pe rmi t. t i ng a change in the ' generic" design and the NRC planned to allow thi s change wi thou t. any opportunity for public input as to how this alteration will ef f ect public heal th.
I strongly disagree with his opinion on this matter and our organization, PASE, wishes to participate in the decision proc-ess. Since site specific decisions are involved in your consider-ation, citizens have a right to participate in this decision. The NCR and i ts representatives do not have the right to allow thi s construction to go on without citizen input and a full National Environmental Evaluation Review and an Environmental Impact Statement being made.
Again, I am requesting that the NRC reconsider their earlier decision to grant exemption to the generic cask construction as there are nuironmental considerations that have not yet.
been properly addressed. Full public inpu t has not been facilitated and NRC staff has attempted to block that process in its communi-1 cation with me.
Please respond to this request at your earliest convenience at the address below: David Druding PASE 1410 Cato Springs Rd.
