U. S. Atomic Energy Commission Vashington 25, D. C.

Centlemen Your press release of August II, reporting the proposed issuance of a disposal license to the Military Sea Transpartation Service of the Navy, gives no infomation about the identities and quantities of the vaste radio-icotopes which would be du= ped at sea.

To be able to estimate the possible health hazard connected with the vaste disposal operations it see=s necessary to have an inventory of the materials which are du= ped.,

A proposal has been made for the' Metropolitan Regional Douncil to request a hearing in order to bring out this infomation. {The Council is an organization of representatives of cities in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.) Perhaps you can supply the needed in-fo ration without a for=al hearing.

In case this cannot be done be-fore the 15 day time limit expires vill you please consider this letter a request for an extension of time.

Very truly yours, I

Dear Hr. Blatz:

Enclosed is the informtion on the proposed license to Hilitary Sea Transportation Service to dispose cf radioactive traste in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in 1000 fathoms of water which Mr. Iester Rogers of this division dis-cussed with you by telephone on August 26th.

As Mr. Rogers indicated to you, the license requires that

.the Cornission be notified at least 20 days prior to any disposal operation as to the date of disposal, the total amount of radioactivit to be disposed of and the mst hazardous radioisotope in each container. This information will be available to any interested person upon request to the Cocnission.

I hope that this is the information that you desire. please feel free to contact us if you have further questions on this matter.

Sinedrely yours, H. L. Price, Director Division of Licensing and Regulat. ion

Dear Mr. Price:

Because of the proximity of Buchanan, N.Y. to New York City and D particularly n,ince it is very close to both tiie Croton Water Supply System and the new Chelsea Hudson River pumping station, there has been considerable interest nere in the proposal by the Consolidated Edison Company to construct a large power reactor at Indian Point. The Mayor's Technical Advisory Conamittee has recoammended to Mayor Lindsay that an independent technical review by qualified experts be cartfed out for the City of New York. Such a review would be limited in scope with the principal purpose being to identify any possible safety aspects that may have been overlooked in the Cotweission's revtew.

The Mayor agreed that such an independent review would be desirable and authorized this Of fice to proceed with the necessary arrangerments. A sisall group of Belgian scientists wi*h appropriate qualifications has agreed to conduct the type of review desired by our Advisory Conumittee. The Consolidated Edison Company has been inost cooperative in supplying the necessary documents.

It is our understanding that a public hearing is generally conducted in connection with any reactor construction permit application and that one hmonth'snoticeisusuallygivenbeforethehearingisneld.

It is expected that such a hearing alght be scheduled for the near future, although we have not seen a notice to that effect.

My reason in writing. is that we have received word from our consultants that they will not be able to finish their review unt11 about the first of September.

In case it in the intention of toe A.E.C. to schedule a hearing before that date, it is presumed tnat questiont, might still be ratted suaserjuently to the hearing and receive consideration by the A.E.C.

It is rot expected that the City would request chat t ie aoplication for tre construction perrnit be denied. but furtner investigatton of certain aspects may be requested.

If thin procedure mig 5t present a problem, it would be helpful to New York City if the hearing not be held until altar rece.rt of the report from our con nu l t an t s.

I believe tn at we could obtai.i a closer eatimate o-that date withhe a few weeks.

Dear Mr. Price:

I Because of the proximity of Buchanan, N.Y. to New York City and 4

particularly since it is very close to both toe Croton Water Supply Systems and j

the new Chelsea lludson Atver puesping station, there has been considerable interest l

here in the proposal by the Consolidated Edison Company to construct a large power reactor at Indian Point. The Mayor's Technical Advisory Cormittee has reconnended to Mayor Lindsay that an independent technical review by qualified experts be carried out for the City of New York. Such a review would be limited in scope with the principal purpose being to identify any possible safety aspects that may have been overlooxed in the Consission's review.

The Mayor agreed that such an independent review would be desirable l

and authorized this Of fica to proceed with the necessary arrangements. A small group of Belgian scientists with appropriate qualifications has agreed to conduct j

the type of review desired by our Advisory Coassittee. The Consolidated Edison Company has been most cooperative in supply 1ig the necessary documents.

It is our understanding that a public hearing is generally conducted in connection with any reactor construction per: nit application and that one month's notice is usually given before the hearing is neld.

It is expected that such a hearing might se scheduled for the r. ear future, although we have not seen

e. notice to that effect.

My reason in writing is c.iat tve have received word f rom our consultants tnat twy wt al r.ot be dole to f.nisn their revtew until about the Lirst ot Septemer.

In case si is tac antention of tac A.E.C. to schedule a acarir.g oefore that date, &L is presurned trat questions c:ignt stati be retsed subsequently to the hearing and receive consideration oy L.te A.E.C.

It is not, expected that tre City would request th.at c.ie appilce. tion for tee construction permit be denied, but furt.ser anvwsttsation of certatn aspects may be requested.

If this procedure stynt present. problers, it would be helpful to New York City if tne aearanb not ne neld until af ter receipt of toe report f roci our consultants.

I believe ende we could obtain a closer esttaate of that date witnan. few o ews.

a This was eartainly not intended, since we knew neither the sehVM date of the hearing nor the date when our review will be completed.

It ses an emploratory letter to learn whether it would be desirable to eseediases the 'eme detes and 1f so to learn of the feasibility of doing so.

We should appreciate it if you would obtain a response from the Consolidated Edison Company to the questions raised by our consultants.

For your information, we have informally supplied representatives of the Consolidated T21 son Company with a copy of the report to allow them as t
