December 24, 1986 CHAIRMAN The Honorable Nicholas Mavroules United States House of Representatives Washington, D. C.
20515
Dear Congressman Mavroules:
I am responding to your letter of November 25, 1986 signed by you and other members of the Massachusetts Delegation concerning emergency planning at the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant.
I am enclosing a staff summary on the issues on emergencv preparedness
~
which were raised by the Congressional delegations of New Hampshire and 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 Commission 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 adiudications with due respect raid to the rights of all the parties to the proceeding.
If this issue should come before the Commission, the Commission will carefully consider all the arguments of the parties before issu'ing a decision.
It is essential to the integrity of the process that tha Commission 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 natters you identified will conforn with the Commission's understanding o' the requirements imposed on the NRC through the Atomic Energy Act and other applicable federal laws.
Sincerely, t%d.d Lando W. Ze
, Jr.
