Chairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C.

20555

Dear Chairman Zech:

SUBJECT:

DRAFT GENERIC TECHNICAL POSITION:

GUIDANCE FOR DETERMINATION OF ANTICIPATED PROCESSES AND EVENTS AND UNANTICIPATED PROCESSES AND EVENTS During the second meeting of the Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste (ACNW),

July 21-22, 1988, the Comittee heard a presentation by the staff of the Division of High-Level Waste Management (DHLWM) on the referenced document.

The Comittee and its attending consultants also focused attention on the possibility of rulemaking on the same subject.

The Comittee learned that the time limit for public coments expired more than one month ago. Nevertheless, the staff has received no coments on this Draft Generic Technical Position from any Federal agency, including the Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, or the U.S.

Geological Survey.

The Committee is of the strong opinion that the staff, having called for public coment on this important document, should be provided with such substantive coments as these agencies can provide.

We note that others, including the State of Nevada, did avail themselves of the opportunity to transmit their views to the DHLWM.

The Comittee recomends that you comunicate to the heads of these agencies your strong desire that they respond to such requests and that their coments are critical to the enhancement of the licensing process.

The ACNW intends to continue to address this topic and will forward to you the result of our review when we have had a more complete set of coments on the subject document.

Sincerely, Dade W. Moeller l
