The Honorable John B. Breaux I

United States Senate Washington, D.C.

Dear Senator Breaux:

I am responding to your recent inquiry on behalf of your constituents about the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board's final initial decision, LBP-97-8',- in connection with the application of the Louisiana Energy Services to constrtict and operate the Claiborne Enrichment Center.

The Boards decision, which l

addresses environmental justice, was served on May 2, 1997.

The matter of Louisiana Energy Services' application to construct and operate a uranium enrichment plant in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, including the issue of environmental justice, is still the subject of an ongoing formal adjudication before the Agency.

The Commission, which sits as an adjudicatory appellate body, f

currently has before it petitions to review LBP-97-8.

Therefore, I trust that you will understand why the Commission cannot respond, at this time, to the substance of your constituents' concerns without raising questions of prejudgment.

We will keep you informed of the Commission's decisions.on this matter.

Sincerely,

.l[ \\ 0 Dennis K. Rathbun, Director Office of Congressional Affairs I
