Dear Rudy:
I am concerned with the action or lack of action of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in regard to two utilities in which I have a fin a nc i a l interest.,As I recall, Congress passed a resolution some time ago allowing the NRC authority to grant an operating license without state and local approval when it was determined that the state and local government refused to participate in emergency planning requirements.
In the case of the Long Island Lighting Co. Shoreham plant, I would like you to find out from the NRC what the company should do that it hasn't done to get approval of a full power operating license.
In the case of the Philadelphia Electric Company, the Peach Bottom Plant was ordered shut down on March 31st, 1987, because of operator negligence (sleeping on the job). From the information that I have, Philadelphia Electric has corrected the deficiencies and is awaiting approval to return Peach Bottom to operation. I would like to find out from the NRC what Philadelphia Electric should do that it hasn't done to i
get approval to start the units at the Peach Bottom Plant.
?
If there are real reasons for the NRC to withhold approval for operation of the above noted generating plants, I am in favor of getting the reasons out in the open where they can be addressed and eliminated item by item. If on the other hand it is a matter of unreasonable delay on the part of the NRC, that agency should be reminded that such delay is not in the best interest of our country.
As was noted by Congress in passing the resolution concerning emergency planning, the nuclear power industry is important to our country in reducing our dependance on imported oil.
.e
':' V Roughly 11.5 million barrels of imported oil per year costing
$145 million vould be required for oil fired replacement generation for the Long I sl a n d Lighting Shoreham plant.
Similarly millions of barrels of imported oil would be required for oil fired replacement generation for the i
Philadelphia Electric Peach Bottom Plant.
I would appreciate an answer to the questions outlined above when you have had an opportunity to dig into this matter with i
the NRC.
Very truly ypurs, i
/
