[ WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 5 .p

\...../

CHAIRMAN December 24, 1986 The Honorable Barney Frank United States House of Representatives Washington, D. C. 20515

Dear Congressman Frank:

I am responding to your letter of November 25, 1985 signed by you and other members of the Massachusetts Delegation concerning emergency planning at the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant.

I am enclosing a staff sumary on the issues on emeroency preparedness which were raised by the Congressional delegations of New Hampshire and I

Massachusetts.

The question of whether a low power license should be issued and resolution of offsite emergency planning issues have been raised in the Seabrook licensing proceeding and may come before the Comission as part of the adjudicatory process. Accordingly, I regret that no more specific response to these issues can be provided at this time. The Commission's licensing decisions for nuclear reactors are made in on-the-record ad.iudications with due respect paid to the rights of all the parties to the proceeding. If this issue should come before the Comission, the Comission will carefully consider all the arguments of the parties before issuing a decision. It is essential to the integrity of the process that the Comission not comment on such matters without first hearing from the parties and issue its decision on the adjudicatory record.

I appreciate receiving your views and assure you that consideration of the matters you identified will confom with the Comission's understanding of the requirements imposed on the NRC through the Atonic Energy Act and other applicable federal laws.

Sincerely, Lando W. .ch, Jr.

Enclosure:
