Dear Congressman Erlenborn:
d.4 Ff? l ? 4 I 6 nl hc
- 4 Thank you for your letter dated April 10, 1981 from your constituent, Shari Hartsing, who is concerned about prop %ede regulations and legislation designed to reduce delays in the licensin(*gp q process for nuclear power plants.
- Y The diverson of staff resources and rethinking of safety requirements y ,\
following the accident at Three Mile Island adversely affected licensing activity at the Comission. As a result, w estimate that in 1981 and 1982 approximately a dozen nuclear plants will be completed from 1 to 12 months before a full power license decision can be made. The Comission is concerned about this situation and is proposing a number of actions to correct it. Your constituent mentions several of these proposed changes.
Amendments to the Comission's Rules of practice,10 CFR Part 2, were published in the Federal Register for coment on March 18, 1981. These amendments, if adopted, should permit more timely conduct of NRC hearings by tightening the time allowed for each part of the process and by providing firmer time management. Public coments r=eived by April 7,1981 will be considered by the Comission before promulgation of a final rule.
Also on March 18, 1981, the Comission submitted proposed legislation to Congress, which would allow it to authorize interim reactor operation for fuel leading and low-power operating and testing before the completion of a hearing. Such interim operation would save at least two months and, where the low power testing revealed a need for repairs or modifications, could save substantially more time. This proposed authority would expire at the end of 1983 thereby assuring that this adjustment to our licensing requirements would be temporary and cunfined to those plants which have
- been directly affected by the Comission's post-TMI action. !
I am enclosing for your information a copy of the proposed changes to Part 2 and of the letter to Congress transmitting the proposed legislation.
I hope that this information is helpful in responding to your constituent. J Sincerely, A( Carlton Kamere Oir tor #
