Dear Senator Graham:
The Department of Energy has referred your July 26 letter, including a copy of Mr. Ray J. Murray's letter to you, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for reply.
There was no moratorium put in place in 1973 on the construction of new nuclear power plants in this country that continues in effect today.
The only moratorium on the issuance of new l
construction permits and operating licenses was put in place by
[
the Commission in November 1979 and ended in February 1980.
The purpose of that moratorium was to permit the Commission to complete an assessment of the 1979 accident at Three Mile Island Unit 2 Nuclear Power Plant and to initiate comprehensive improvements in the operation and regulation of nuclear plants.
Please note that the Commission has not issued a permit authorizing construction of a new nuclear power plant since January of 1979.
I hope this information will be helpful in replying to Mr. Murray's letter.
Sincerely, AM Dennis K. Rathbun, Director office of Congressional Affairs t
