Subject:

Comments on Petition for Rulemaking Filed by Mr. Peter G. Crane (60 FR 58256)

Gentlemen:

Toledo Edison (TE), a subsidiary of Centerior Energy, is partial owner of and is responsible for operation of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station. Toledo Edison has been authorized for power operation of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station since April 1977. As a 10 CFR 50 licensee, TE has a vested interest in any rules which the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) may adopt which can affect the management and operation of a commercial nuclear power plant.

Toledo Edison has reviewed the written comments submitted by the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) to the NRC concerning Mr. P. G. Crane's petition for rulemaking that the standard in 10CFR50.47 be amended to include, among the protective actions for the general puolic, the prophylactic use of potassium iodide (KI). Toledo Edison fully supports NEI's position that stockpiling or predistribution of KI will not add any significant public health and safety benefit to the adequate level of protection currently provided by existing emergency planning at and around commercial nuclear power plants. Therefore, TE strongly urges the NRC to deny the petition for rulemaking proposed by Mr. Crane.
