- 1. In general, Ken Clark's assessment echos my thoughts. My first impression on setting out to read the DSis was that no one outside the NRC will be able to read these things and get much out of them. Not only is the language dense and bureaucratic, but they are heavily redundant, overly long, and use terminology few will comprehend.
- 2. In addition, I think DSI 14 embraces a bit of naivete. We have in place a practice of informing the public and providing plenty of opportunity for input into all our processes. What we perhaps don't do is provide opportunity for " obstructive" input, that is go to great pains to alert groups that we know want to use the public comment process as a means of obstructing whatever it is we are trying to accomplish. The desire to avoid another "Below Regulatory Concern" situation, which shows up in options 2 & 3, could only be accomplished through extraordinary efforts to make sure every potentially concerned group fully understands all the ramifications of every action we propose--and i don't think tbat would be warranted.
