O g n arco' UNITED STATES y g NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMiss!ON WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 y,
( g 77/jl DEC 2 31937-MEM0PANDUM FOR: Chairman Palladino FROM: William J. Dircks Executive Director for Operations
SUBJECT:
REVISED FY 1984-1985 BUDGET ESTIMATES Attached are the revised NRC FY 1984-1985 budget estimates which reflect decisions made by the Commission after reviewing the proposed allocation of the OMB reductions provided in your December 17, 1982 memorandum.
Tnese estimates will be used in the preparation of the FY 1984 President's Budget.
Attach ent 1 summarizes the budget category and program differences between the NRC submission of September 1, 1982 and OMB's approval. Attachment 2 provides the details of the revised budget estimates and associated program
. impacts for FY 1984. The FY 1985 estimates are considered by OMS as a planning target.
Tne FY 1984 President's Budget that NRC will submit to Congress in January 1983 will have two minor structural adjustments as compared to previous submissions.
The OM3 now controls personnel ceilings by total Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) rather than by Permanent FTE and Other Than Permanent FTE which include part-time permanent, consultants, ACRS fellows, and temporaries. Therefore, the
(.ungressional submission will show the total of both with comparability adjustments shown for FY 1982 and FY 1983. Previously, our budget submissions
. .to Congress only included permanent FTEs. The second adjustment is that the program support budget category will now include associated technical equipment. In the past, NRC reflected this type of equipment in a separate line item. OM3 has agreed that a separate line entry is no longer necessary for equipment.

Operators would continue to be recualified by the . licensee and NRC would continue to audit the licensee's requalification examinations and procedures. The potential impact of cancelling the NRC program is believed to be minimal as long as a significant number of operators are required to take NRC administered replacement examinations, because of high turnover rates.

$201.4 $216.1 $-33.7 $182.4 Reactor & Facility Engineering $ 38.6 $ 42.3 $ -2.5 $ 39.8 The reduction will impact in three areas: degraded piping (aging),
containment, and decommissioning. In the degraded piping program reduction there will be a 6-12 month delay in completion of tests of large diameter piping and in the verification of the predictions of the capability of degraded piping to resist' postulated accident loads.
The reduction in containment will result in deferral of containment penetra-tion studies to provide methods of establishing the ultimate capability of centainments to.contain severe accidents.
The reduction in decommissioning, will preclude: (1) ccmpleting wock, scheduled in FY 1984, on deccamiss.ioning source terms; (2) statistical survey techniques and radiation ' detection practices for certification surveys for license termination, and (3) ccmpletion of investigation of methods for facilitating the decommissioning of reactors to be used during the design, operation and actual deccmmissioning.
Facility Oceratiens $14.0 $17.5 $-3,0 $14.5 The planned NRC level of research relate'd to plant instrumentation an'd control will be reduced, with the industry being encouraged to support more effort to .
confirm the availability of reactor instrumentation during abnormal events.
The 't).S. participation in the international Halden Project on human factors and nuclear fuels research will be reduced. The cut will also necessitate delaying or terminating all planned research work on human factors

Research on comparative health effects resulting from various types of nuclear and non-nuclear fuel cycles will be deferred. There will be no research or technical assistance to support rulemaking or regulatory guidance on post-accident recovery guidelines, demographic siting criteria, man made hazards to nuclear plants, and off-site, post-licensing changes that affect risk or socioeconcomic factors related to plant construction and operation. Rulemaking, regulatory guidance or response to petitions will have to be addressed on the basis of existing information.
Waste Management $12.8 $12.5 $-3.2 $9.3 In LLW and Uranium Recovery there will be delays in the development of a technical basis for NRC and State license review and regulatory guidance to licensees, on evaluating the effectiveness of various methods of isolating radioactive waste from the public environment.
Risk Analysis $15.9 $19.3 5-1.6 $17.7 This reduction will defer two transportation and material risk programs for one year: (1) the development of methods to assess risk of non-reactor facilities, and (2) the ccmpletion of the Transportation Modal Study intended to determine whether existing standards and methods for transportation of radioactive materials by various modes are approcriate or should be changed.
Additionally, two programs will be deleted: (1) a planned new start to develop methods for risk analysis of materials held by non-reactor licensees, and (2) a program to update the transportation incident data base.

These reductions wculd be gradual as major efforts such as Revisions of 10 CFR 20, 10 CFR 60,10 CFR 35, and their associate guidance are completed. This reducticn will also necessitate increased reliance on DOE Laboratory management or other contractual assistance to perform technical oversight duties currently pursued by RES staff.
